Go to someplace like Books-A-Million and look in the fake books. It sould be in one of them along with many other fun pieces to play.

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.

A piano book is exactly what you need. It'll give you the melody, as long as the chords and harmony to write out.

Sir Bloke, yes that last one is a great find, My son and I will be learning it as a duet. The sax part seems a bit low, I believe the low Bb is the lowest possible on an alto... if necessary I can transpose it up. Thanks.

I have a pretty cool Tuba-Euph Quartet arrangment I could email to you if you're interested.

Pull it into a midi program... massage it a little... and print it out.
ARG, i dont have that kind of program

Where could i get it?

Finale Notepad doesn't import MIDI, but their step-up product, Notepad Plus ($25), does.

There are several free methods, though I don't know about Microsoft Windows versions of them. Denemo and Lilypond have means to import MIDI but I haven't worked with MIDI much. NoteEdit is good for quick stuff. But I haven't used it much either.

I tend to use raw lilypond format and a text editor:)
