  1. Wow! That was a crazy amount of work you put into this. Will you be transcribing Frank’s guitar lines as well? Ha! Just kidding. These will be a great study tool for anyone wishing to hone their solo jazz tuba chops or just their chops in general. I saw Travelin’ Light live in Troy, Michigan years ago and they were all just as good live as the recordings. Unbelievable playing, energy and charisma. That performance turned me on to Frank Vignola who I had not heard of up to that point. I’ve since had the pleasure of hearing him live on many occasions. Thanks for doing this.

  2. Nice work. Any chance of getting the changes to use with a small group? I would love to have transcriptions of the Travelin’ Light Christmas charts. I would definitely throw some money your way for those as I will for these arrangements. Thanks for doing this.

  3. I tried to send you some cash for these arrangements but the cash app address above is showing up as non-existent on my end.

  4. Thanks so much for taking the time to transcribe “Travel’n Light”, it’s one of my favorite albums and will be fun to play along with Sam. (or attempting to try). I Venmo’d you $25 for a couple pounds of coffee beans.

    1. Hi John: It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Glad to see you’re still playing. Hope all is well. Mike

  5. Thanks so much for doing this! I’ve always loved that album and Sam’s playing. Looking forward to reading through these! They look great: well done.
