...I played the tune on the bass with my high school jazz band, so it counts--or does it? After listening to Sammy Nestico's ballad, "Samantha," yesterday, I thought, "The saxophone carries the melody here. If I were to play the bass part out of context, it's unlikely that anyone could identify the tune. For this tune, at least, I wish I played the saxophone."
I'm still not sure if that's narcissistic--or just human.
