MP3 DEMO:
M2250. WRITE MYSELF A LETTER (I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND) - Ab to A
key - Ab to A - vocal range - Bb to C#
This superb arrangement is very much based on the wonderful Bing Crosby version from his 1957 album "Bing With A Beat". The arrangements for such a small group are wonderful. I've made this one a bit more singer friendly (the original has long solos in a different key) and also added a key change just to spice it up but it sticks to the 'meat and veg' of the Bing arrangement , with the verse included.

WRITE MYSELF A LETTER (I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND) key Bb 2:32
8 bar intro and vocal in at 15 seconds, continue through, piano solo at 1:12, vocal back in at 1:44 with "I'm going to smile and say I hope you're feeling better..", continue through and from 2:08 sing "I'll make believe it came...

Massive hit for Georgia Fame back in the 60's but here's a different take on it. The arrangement and chord structure is based on a Mari Wilson obscure version! The chord changes should simply be 2 bars of Eb then 2 bars of Cm but in this case it's Eb11 to Ab11; and it works! Trio plus Hammond arrangement.
