What tunes do you play in A major? Granted, I've only worked out of about
half of the Real Book and half of the Real Book Vol.II...but off the top
of my head, I can't remember having to play anything in five sharps except
when playing alto sax (Wave, Make Me Smile, My Favorite Things...but
that's actually in minor...).
