It is probably a little over-long for that at the moment. I'd make one of later Bridges an acoustic bridge playing the bridge melody and trim down the last verse. But that's just me.
Hi, Ian.
Nope, you're absolutely right. I had created a trimmed-down version of the backing tracks, but for no compellingly good reason decided to use the long version instead.
As for the trumpet, I think playing it on a breath controller really helps lift it to the next level. Plus, the instrument is very responsive.
Thanks for the kind words!
