Bro C, my apologies….
I thought it was you had the backing tracks to ” sentimental mood “….. Its the good Sxpoet !!☺☺
Didn’t mean to cast any doubt on your ability. Man, with that set up I imagine your doing fine…
Sorry man….jak😕😕

So I guess the Leo P, s of the world, are making the grade, getting the airtime, making the money.
Sure, he’s a good bari player, but the gimmicks….
Pink hair, dancing about ??
Sam Butera and Louis Prima did that ” comedy ” routine stuff back in the fifties and sixties.
Thing was, they were amazing players. If that’s the way its going….MAN…[Read more]

I’m trying to think of an original horn player that is current…I can’t !!
” Fast fingers ” have never impressed me too much.
Sure when I was younger it was compulsory to be into Mike Brecker….he was an incredible player.
Chris Potter…I’ve heard about ten minutes….
Give me a good tone every time and the ability to convey that emotion….…[Read more]

Nail it to a wall….LOL !!
Yeah its tough Sxpoet. ” Reverbnation ” is set up as a p!atform for exposure. Free studio time, possible airplay on mainstream and college radio. A ton of stuff. But they insist on ” original material ” or no go….
The free altissimo sounds great. Have you seen ” Lost Highway ” by David Lynch ?? The first track is “…[Read more]

Bro C….last , but most certainly not least. I saw in a mail, you had the bts for ” sentimental mood “….nice one !!
Its not a tough tune…beautiful but not too challenging. If its OK with Johnny and you get stuck, shoot me a pm….I’ll talk you through it ☺
Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks….
May as well check ” preloved ” on the off c…[Read more]

Love the new avatar Sxpoet. As for some downloads, nothing would give me greater pleasure, but I’m not hooked up with the tech. If I was I’d be clueless anyhow.
So happy to get the 10M back yesterday, but I had been so down with things I took off half a day to think of the future. Some contingency plans if you like.
The possible job I mentioned a…[Read more]

Just for the record , how many times have I had to tell people saxophones are WOODWIND…. NOT BRASS !!
( Reed – wood …Wind ?…..possibly the lamb vindaloo I just had…😉

Yup….jak the Conn man ….☺☺ ( in the nicest of ways !! ). The idiot with the alto, left the wrong number on the advert. Left a message to phone me, but I’m not holding out much hope.
Would you buy a horn off of a guy who can’t remember his own number…. DUH !!
It was only a Texas made 20M, but it would have been a great starter horn for som…[Read more]

It goes without saying, IF I buy or sell anything on Johnny’s site, I will be kicking back a % into the funds . Its only fair. For now….a day at a time.
Its been a good day, in fact a GREAT DAY !!☺☺

You bet your albacore…. LOL !!☺☺
Let us know when the Morgan comes in..a #8 yeah ?

Sxpoet, hi man. Chinese painting; that sounds beautiful. I just want to put sax stuff aside for a moment to say thankyou.
You are obviously a busy guy, but each day you take the time to chat….it means a lot.
I tried to post this earlier, but after the Doctor had been, Mum wanted to watch some cable TV…
I hadn’t noticed before but the post…[Read more]

I really think I have covered things as I say until the years…[Read more]

Your EMB muscles tire IF you are working hard, doing the right things….
Sxpoet… Your doing great man !!☺☺

Morning Sxpoet. Man you have come a long way in such a time. Thanks for your confidence in my problems being sax related….I wish I shared your confidence. Not looking forward to playing the old horn but yeah , that altissimo is working.
So that’s me until the years end….
I’m going to get stuck in, look after Mum…..
Life’s not too bad….
No…[Read more]

Dear diary…☺☺☺LOL !!
My ” time off “…..MAN !!
Who’s idea was this altissimo nonsense anyhow !!😉
Seriously , a whole mixture of finding this chromatic altissimo octave challenging to say the least. At the same time, on the old horn I can get the full range. One of those days when at face value, you think you’ve had a bad day. On refle…[Read more]

Bass clarinet sounds nice Jeff….
Go for it man !!☺☺
