HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 96 || BE MY MAN By Asa | Covered by DrAySax

I very much believe each musician can develop a sound that distinguishes him from others. What some of us call "developing your sound".
In practice, in performance, in improvisation and experimenting, we come up with methods and tunes we make ours. This diversity makes music so beautiful.
Asa is a unique musician who makes very beautiful music.
Her songs always carry heavy meaning.
I'd been playing Asa's songs recently, most of the time using it to develop voicings on the saxophone.
The dry weather here still makes it a little difficult to maintain moisture on my reeds to maintain a rich sound, but I tried to find ways around circumventing that, so that I could play and make some music.
Here, I do a freestyle on Asa's Be My Man.

Lyrics (Lyric Find):

My mama used to tell me girl
It ain't that cool to see a man you love
And start to act the fool
Tell me what's a girl in love supposed to do
Tonight, I'm breaking mama's rule
Baby there's a lot of things I want to say
I'm in love with you its driving me insane
I know am sounding stupid but is it OK
To be your woman everyday
You will be my man
And I will be
Your woman everyday
Ooh baby we can take a walk around the park
And I can cook you dinner, it won't be so bad
Or we can laugh and talk about the friends you've had
And all the ones that made me mad
Ooh baby baby, we can stay up all night
We can argue, we can even start a fight
And I can laugh, and say I love the way you smile
And everything will be just fine
You will be my man
And I will be
Your woman everyday

Enjoy it!
