John,

I imagine there may be more than one song that holds the melodic (solfeggio) note "do" played on the first beat and over a major one chord, then melodically goes to "ti" on the 4th beat of the same bar...it seems generic enough that there might be several songs...only problem for me is...if that's true...then why can I think of only one?

I won't wait, Eddie, cuz I think John is playing a different song that happens to start exactly the same as the one I am thinking of, or that you are thinking of, as well.

The only one that comes to mind for me is "Tutti Frutti."

Just kidding..."I'll Be Home For Christmas" is my actual "guess" and it certainly qualifies in terms of notes over chords--it starts out exactly like what you played--and there are literally hundreds of cover versions and I'm sure some are even in the key of Eb, like yours.

So John, even if you are playing a different song, I'd like you to consider giving me partial credit!

That was certainly an ear worm. So many songs are ALMOST what you played. "Smile" for one. "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" etc...
