Blues for Alice - Charlie Parker
print w/Courier

I've changed a few notes here and there that just worked a bit different
and sounded good (in my opinion) for mandolin. Mandolin players can gain
a lot of inspiration from the Bird. I visit his grave in Kansas City
from time to time and there are always a few saxaphone reeds around the
headstone. Sometimes there are guitar picks picks as well! Suggest you
grab the Charlie Parker Omnibook for many other great Bird tunes.
