Eivets Rednow is steviE wondeR so the key is bound to be the same Bb....!!

 So, when I saw that Rob Paparozzi mentioned that Stevie's Alfie 
performance was in Bflat, and I found that the only arrangement I had was in 
C (in the Real Book 6th Ed), all I had to do was take the Eivets Rednow 
version (also in Bflat)  which I've had for years and raise it two 
semi-tones to play along. Infinitely easier than me transcribing it !
down to the original key of the recording although I'll probably get there 
eventually.   And I knocked the tempo down a bit (another feature) since my 
reading, even in C, is not that great.  Slowing it down helps make the 
embellishments easier to break down, although I don't know if I'll ever get 
that pizzicato thing figured out. Pretty fun, anyway, and maybe worth 
checking out.
