Leilani and I are a semi-cover duo. We cover some songs as close to the original as possible, most of them we put our own twist on, and some are completely reimagined.

Most of my favorites are usually the newest ones we've learned because there is still a lot of adventure in them, trying things out on an improvised solo, putting some twists on the melody, etc.

We just learned "Tennessee Whiskey", "You Might Think", "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman", "Call Me" (Blondie), and "Addicted To Love" so they are my current favorites, but as soon as we learn the next song, they will be moved to semi-favorites.

I only have one least favorite, "Yakety Sax". We only play it when requested. However once the music starts, and put the sax in my mouth and take the first deep breath, I forget that I've played it too many times and have fun performing it, in spite of myself.

"Mustang Sally", "Brown Eyed Girl", "Sweet Caroline", etc. are the musical equivalent to junk food to me. Not much nourishment, but a lot of fun to play.

We play some more interesting songs as well, see http://www.nortonmusic.com/cats/songlist.html and what we play is determined by who we have in front of us.

I just like to play music. Playing "Yakety Sax" is still way better than any day job I can think of.
