My Blue Panda

From Plank Road Publishing

by Paul "Panda Guy" Jennings

(Low E, G, A, B, C)

Here's a tribute to everyone's favorite bamboo-eating bear! The tune proceeds from an Asian-inspired opening to a fairly straight-ahead blues. The accompaniment includes a jazz rhythm section, winds, and strings for a little flavor. At the beginning and at the end, as the Chinese gong trails off, you will also hear the sound of a mother panda interacting with her newborn little one.

Young players are only asked to conquer C, A, G, and low E, though we include B in the optional last chord of the tune. (from Music K-8, Vol. 18, No. 4)
