My Tunes
Dear friends,
I have decided to make lead sheets of my compositions available for download. As a musician and artist I have always been driven by the spiritual nature of music and art, and the creative process. I turned 65 on October 30 2023 and the temporary nature of life is becoming very apparent to me. Therefore I want to share my compositions with the world before it’s time for me to go. All I ask is that if someone records my music that they contact me so we can process the publishing at Zebtunes BMI. I really hope people would like my tunes and want to play them.
Peace and Love to all, Saul Zebulon Rubin.
GOODY
This beautiful tune was composed by the late great Thomas Chapin during the days of his band Spirits Rebellious in the mid to late 80’s. I was one of the founding members of that group. This song was composed during a transitional phase of Thomas’ life when he made important changes after leaving the Lionel Hampton band and represents a happy and positive time for him. He was a major influence for me as an instrumentalist and composer.
This arrangement and production was finished 11/9/23. I played all the instruments.
I hope you like it.
Ballad For The Children
This beautiful ballad by Roy Hargrove is on his recording Crisol.
I recently heard this tune and I think its really beautiful so I did my version of it.
All tracks played my me. Thanks for listening.

Why Try To Change Me Now
Saul Rubin Solo Guitar
Cy Coleman /Joseph A. McCarthy
I’m sentimental, so I walk in the rain
I’ve got some habits even I can’t explain
Go to the corner and I end up in Spain
Why try to change me now?
I sit and daydream, I got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor
Go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
Why try to change me now?
Why can’t I be more conventional?
People talk and they stare, so I try
But that can’t be ’cause I can’t see
My strange little world just go passing me by.
Let people wonder, let ’em laugh, let ’em frown
You know I’ll love you till the moon’s upside down
Don’t you remember I was always your clown
Why try to change me now?
Eve Cornelious / Saul Rubin Duo
IMPROMPTU
Eve Cornelious is an extraordinary vocalist. I always wanted to do a duo recording with her so one and a half days in the summer of 2017 we did an eleven tune duo recording with no rehearsal or arrangements. Totally impromptu. I really like these two tracks and I am sharing them for a limited time. The whole album is on applemusic, amazon and all the digital distros if you want to hear the rest of it.
