Lily Was Here

Don't think me dino has ever used the Entertainment category before but I wish to share a recent Youtube discovery I made a couple of weeks ago.
Prior to that I do believe I heard saxophonist Candy Dulfer play "Lily Was Here" someplace I can't remember.
Wouldn't ever buy a Candy Dulfer CD because I've found most of her music too jazzy for my Mesozoic tastes.
In another "Lily Was Here" Youtube video Candy said this song was special to her. Well, me dino just loves it.
I prefer this 'un~not because she says nothing at all with her stage shared with guitarist Dave Stewart.
I think the video in the link is the best (and not also because Stewart's face reminds me of a son-in-law, who's different
for being clean-shaven, for my never seeing him wear shades, play a musical instrument and I know he'd never be caught dead in that silly looking suit.) .

    I heard "Lily was here" many years ago while scanning the FM stations one day. I bought "SAXuality" that day.

    You sure know how to get on an old Bama boy's good side. (One that's not a yuck Auburn fan, that is).
    Used to hear a Lynyrd Skynyrd recording of "Sweet Home" on the loud speakers just before home games before I became too crippled to walk to the football stadium and way the steps to my seat.
    You can't hear that on TV unless happenstance lines up just right during the pregame blather. Then you just catch a part of it.

    I'm not a fan of rock guitar so I would likely edit down that solo but I know lots of people who love that. ;^) I noticed that the audience seemed more enthusiastic with the sax riffs than the guitar - or is that my biased view ? I liked the arrangement of the one you posted, but the recording quality wasn't as good as I like to hear. That's why I went looking for another one.
    As for guitar artistry, I prefer Igor Presnyakov

    That highly skilled guitarist appealed to the guitar fan in me dino, but I like the more condensed version with the silly suit dude better.
    For dino me, that all the more jazzed up longer version began to drag.
    I respect your own tastes and preferences.
    The Gulch is for individuals who are true to themselves.

    I've read that method is what jazz musicians are into, though I'm not into jazz but can get into the so-called "Dueling Banjos" (that hit song really one banjo versus one guitar?) in that also a hit Deliverance flick I viewed in an old time stately Dothan, AL, Martin Theater with a balcony (that's now altogether leveled and paved over to provide extra courthouse parking) way back during the Dinosaur Age. Brought more dates and double dates there than I can hope to remember. Remember when The Blob attacked a theater filled with dating teens? Guess where me dino first saw that?.

    Thanks Dino,
    Candy has a great sax appeal .

    The song uses Call and response, that is a great technique. When one player does a little rift and stops then it is "echoed" by another.
    You have heard it in many songs. Here is a famous tune that applies the method.https://youtu.be/Uzae_SqbmDE
