[G] Hello.
Hello.
Yes, Tony.
Yes.
I am Brigitte Selmer.
Okay.
The great-granddaughter [D] of Henri Selmer.
Oh, Brigitte, beautiful.
And as a gift of the Selmer family, I'm very happy to offer you this tenor saxophone.
Oh, isn't this nice?
It's especially made for you _ _ in our factory.
Thank you so much.
_ Merci [C] beaucoup.
_ _ [D] Oh, very nice.
_ [G] _ [Am] Thank you [D] so much.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ [C] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [C] _ [E] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] Thank you. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Very good.
[D] How does it sound?
[G] Nice sound.
Very nice [Em] sound.
Yeah, [G] I wasn't sure I could [C] play, but it [G] sounds okay.
If you mind, it's [D] just from years of playing, [Abm] _ [C] it's bent down a little bit.
[Gb] That's just from [G] playing.
_ _ So that's why I needed a new one.
But this is very beautiful. _
_ Thank you so much.
_ Merci beaucoup.
[D] The one I'm playing.
Yeah.
[Gm] I bought it [A] at a place [Dm] on 48th Street [G] _
_ in New York City. _ _ _
And it was used, _ but it had such a beautiful sound and was very light.
And this one is [E] light.
I like this because [G] it's light.
_ It's not heavy.
I don't want a heavy [D] instrument.
But the [G] other one will be jealous, don't [D] you think?
_ Well, [G] _ that's a good point.
Oh, [E] boy, I'll have to try [A] to speak.
_ [G] Boy, I didn't think about that.
Now [A] _ [D] I have a problem.
[Gm] _
Yes.
_ [A] The other one will be jealous, [Ab] yes.
This [C] is her little sister.
I'll [G] tell her this is her little sister.
Well, the other one wanted me to [E] call her _ [C] a feminine name.
So _ [D] I [Am] have to call this one a [Em] feminine name.
[Gm] _
I [Cm] never sleep in [G] a hotel [F] room _ [D] without my instrument being in the room, the same room.
Yeah, [Eb] _ _ [D] always. _
Yes, because [Eb] if not, I can feel her _ _ saying,
Sonny, Sonny.
_ Then I go out and bring her [A] in the [D] same room.
And it's better.
I like to have her close to me.
_ Well, I think, yes, [Eb] yes, because I'm afraid something will [D] happen.
_ _ Somebody will come in the other room and take her or something.
_ [Db] _ _ _ _
[D] The inspiration of music comes, we [G] don't know when it comes.
It just comes [B] when it comes.
[D] _ Well, sometimes with people, but I'm by myself when [Eb] I get inspiration for music.
_ _ _ [B] Sometimes it's when I'm [Eb] walking down the street and I hear a song comes into my mind and I _ write it down.
_ [C] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [N]
OK, well, I think that's it for me tonight because I've got a very important show.
_ Thank you so much.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
Thank you so [Ab] much.
Very nice [A] to see you.
Thanks [D] again.
Good.
And congratulations [Eb] for your wonderful family.
_ Have a good concert.
Au revoir, monsieur.
_ _ _ Thank [D] you.
A tout de l'heure.
