An arrangement of the City Escape theme from Sonic Adventure 2, with a retro twist!

Necessity is the mother of invention: I realized early that a baritone like me couldn't come near Ted Poley and Tony Harnell's original, effortlessly in B major. But if I transposed it down a couple half-steps and slowed it down a bit, I could just hit it at the top of my range. The tempo change got me thinking about the style, and I listened to some Beatles, Sam Cooke, Ricky Nelson, the Teenagers, the Tokens - somehow, oldies rock clicked for this arrangement! So I hope you enjoy it!
