Transcription based on the recording *Devil's Advocate* by the Chris Stout Quintet. It's an unusual tune. The A part is definitely in 7/8, and I'm fairly sure there's an extra bar in 4/4 (just of B,4) thrown in at the end of the B part. Hopefully someone will correct my attempt! :-)

In Chris Stout's tunebook he has the first part written exactly as you do but the second part is as follows:

X:1
K:Bm
L:1/8
M:4/4
|: B3 d cAF(E | E) AED FD B,2 | B3 d cAF(B | B)dcA F2 d/2c/2B/2A/2 |
B3 d cAF(E | E)AED FD B2 | [1 [M:7/8] B,CD EC EC | DE=C B,4 :| [2 [M:4/4] B,CDE z E z E | [M:11/8] DE=C B,8 ||

(Sorry my ABC, is no doubt truly awful!!)

Also, according to the book, Phil Alexander was a musian that Chris played with during his time in Salsa Celtica. Phil Alexander now plays piano with Moishe's Bagel.

I didn't even realize he had a tunebook. I hope he comes back to Australia soon! :D

Updated the ABC notation, working off creathana's notes cleaned up a little. Works like a charm now. Hopefully the Sheetmusic and the Midi will be updated :-)
