Somewhere

[dot.haukes]

from west side story, PJ Proby had the first hit but just listen Streisand sing it she is awesome

It's proper title is Somewhere (A Place For Us) and is indeed from West Side Story. It was written by Bernstein and Sondheim. It's that lovely duet between Tony and Maria in the show.

So nice to see a soprano sax being featured for a change. We don't see them nearly enough.

Thanks saxy_jag I have now found the piece of music and downloaded it. The other thing that you kindly answered although i never asked was it did not look like a "standard" saxaphone. the usual shape of a sax is quite unmistakable. are there many other types of saxaphone?
Thanks again Rob
