"It's Alright with Me" / "Don't Cry for Me"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

I think I just learned the bass part for "It's Alright with Me."  It's pretty fun, but also slightly exhausting.  I hadn't noticed this until I really started paying attention to it, but contained within it is the really common bass line from the 1950s.

I also learned the bass part for "Don't Cry for Me," which is really easy.  Except for one part, all of the bass notes are the root of whatever chord they're played beneath.
