Default Hi All, I have been trying to

Hi All,
I have been trying to duplicate the sound of my old rock&roll band (circa 1960-1963) and have finally come sorta close (the real sax player was much better). I think it needs Sherry's growling sax font. The instrumentation is exact. I took the liberty of using a 2nd tenor sax because the lead singer doubled on sax and he would pick it up in instances such as this. This is not an original composition. I am not even sure if it doesn't contain parts of another r&r song, but I remember playing it. My long term memory is good, but not perfect. I gave it this title because I remember the band vocally echoing the sax in one part with the phrase (hail, hail rock & roll). I think several sections were probably guitar solos, but it took me long enough to do just a couple measures of guitar, so I made it practically all sax. It was fun. Maybe some of you may remember the piece and can tell me how close I came.
