I thought you'd never ask.... With thanks to John Ray and apologies to countless clueless tenor players everywhere YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE ONE IS You don't know where one is, you never know the changes or the form. Your playing is so far below the norm And you don't know where one is. You don't know what beats are, you cannot tell beat one from and of 3. Just how lame can one poor fella be? And you don't know where one is. Don't you know the key or chords for tunes you claim you're knowin'? No wonder you sound so lost once you've started blowin'. I can't tell from your line whether you're in 3 or in 5/4. I tell you this and tell you one thing more, you don't know where one is.
