The quartet consists off 1 Baritone, 1 Tenor and 2 Alt Saxophone's. They played well. They performed at the Music and Art school in Utrecht at the Domplein. Thats near the DOM tower in Utrecht. Coming thursday Juni 29th the quartet will perform at the JAzz Night at the same location. The quartet is conducted by Iman spaargaren, who is also the saxophone teacher. I am very proud of my daughter because she just started playing the sax 3 years ago. She play's a green Century Saxophone.

Anybody Seen My Baby

Anybody seen my baby, a song from the Rolling Stones, From their CD 40 licks. In my opinion this song is a blues song. Although many would say no its a pop love song. Read the lyrics and if you have the CD listen the song over and over, feel the atmosphere of the song, let it get into your vains, and feel this song. I am convinced you really gonna love it.

She confessed her love to me
Then she vanished on the breeze
Trying to hold on to that was just impossible

She was more than beautiful
Closer to etherial
With a kind of down to earth flavor

Close my eyes
It's three in the afternoon
Then I realize
That she's really gone for good

Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
Love has gone and made me blind
I've looked but I just can't find
She has gotten lost in the crowd

I was flippin' magazines
In that place on Mercer Street
When I thought I spotted her

Getting on a motor bike
Looking rather lady like
Didn't she just give me a wave?

Salty tears
It's three in the afternoon
Has she disappeared
Is she really gone for good

Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around

(Rap)

Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around

Lost, lost and never found
I must have called her a thousand times
Sometimes I think she's just in my imagination

Lost in the crowd
