I'm doing this rough and ready improv from memory, so it may not be anywhere near right. Anyway, the original is a lovely tune from the Oscar-winning film "Missing" (1982). The music was composed for the film by Vangelis. The film starred Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek.

I am playing my Howlett tenor with D'Addario Pro Arte strings.

The recording quality leaves a bit to be desired, I'm afraid. I think it because I recorded it with the H4n reverb on (Arena), instead of adding it afterwards.
