[TPIN] Poll - Best ballads in the Real Book

[Howard Scudder]

Had a chance to play "This Masquerade" this summer.
Its a great ballad you don't have to play soft but can open up on and blow.
Lots of fun to play.
Doc recorded it with the London Symphony.

I believe Leon Russell still lives in Tennessee.
