Here's that version: http://files.me.com/bassnote/aizmgf.mov

What amazes me is the drive and fluidity and stream of good ideas. When he finally lays on that minor it's a real release.
Jason, I've got to be honest and say that I've only ever heard one version of Sally (Richard Greene, with a band called Seatrain) and that was in the 1970s. I was unable to bring up your link. My piece only contained the violin riff (as I remembered it) and was really just an improvisation. It is really just a piece inspired by a violin player I liked.
