Sailing Away My Blues

Sailing Away My Blues is a lovely blues pieces, which relies on a steady left hand bass line to be effective. The beginning has some rather long melodic lines so one should be careful of the phrasing there, but the middle section is more spiky and rhythmic. Remember to keep the same tempo throughout!
