"Alice in Wonderland" (1951)

Reviewing a song written back in 2011. "The Colonial Rag" stands out as a song finished but listening to the recording there are some problems.  Taking a closer look at the typed sheet music I noticed there were several mistakes.  I spent and hour writing in the corrections then an hour typing the corrections into Print Music.

Now it appears that I have  better version of the song on paper and now I am playing through it to prepare for a recording session.

Other music I've been working through is the entire Walt Disney "Alice in Wonderland" (1951) songbook. June "Alice in Wonderland", "In A World of My Own", "All in the Golden Afternoon", "Very Good Advice"and "AEIOU" (The Caterpillar Song). Most of the songs are written by Sammy Fain (music) and Bob Hilliard (lyrics).  My teacher Eric Abrahamson like the piano arrangements by . . . someone in the 70's.
