Hi Victor,
I'm thinking of "Isn't She Lovely?"
OH MY GAWD!! Not only does he get the new parent thing in the song's lyric,
but then he adds the "found" sounds of his new daughter at tub time,
"Get out the water... baaaaaby.
Get out the water... baaaaaby."
THEN, he puts in the flat out jazziest harmonica-like solo I have EVER
HEARD! I'll never forget the first time I heard that solo. He goes through
variation after variation until I think he'll never be able to wring another
out of it. So he goes to this incredibly inside-out place and I was SURE
he'd never be able to resolve it. But he does. What a great, great take!
