      @@pac401 it took some research on my part, for sure. Since he was performing from the CBS Orchestra position, I figured it had to be someone from that band. Bruce Kapler was their saxophonist, but left in 2012. Aaron Heick took over for him, but in the interim several players filled in, one of them being Tom Timko.

    Все посевы здесь
    Не прорастут
    Не с кем будет попрощаться
    Если все уйдут
    Может быть, все срастётся в Чикаго
    Отдать все то, что знали
    За место, что в глаза не видали
    Может быть, все срастётся в Чикаго
    Остаться - смелый шаг
    Уйти еще смелей
    Куда б она ни шла, я за ней
    Может быть, все срастётся в Чикаго
    В чем нуждаемся - Господь нам даст
    Что хотим - за пазухой у нас
    Всяк там меня найдёт
    Где оземь радуга падёт
    Не один я
    Мне не страшно
    Упорхнула из клетки пташка
    Мы массу фокусов познаём
    В сапфире, что домом зовём
    Надев шляпу и пальто
    Я говорю - прощай, всё то
