i never comment about people by using the FAT word, i always say WELL FED instead.

the only problem with USA freedom of speech is could you not still get taken to court and be sued by someone?

reading music is the easy bit, reading a scale with 6 flats and playing the sax while reading the scale is the hardest bit.

i know this because i’ve been doing it on the clarinet for the last year – practicing reading all 12 major scales and playing the clarinet at the same – and i’m still making mistakes while playing the scales. So if i cant…[Read more]

lyrics

Hi Jeff,
it’s a song i made up about my Oak Tree in the garden.
i’m still working on it, currently working on the 3rd revised version with 3 verses instead of one verse.

i came up with the lyrics first and then added the melody on the guitar, then added the alto, clarinet and tenor. Last of all i added the guitar chords.

Currently revising it,…[Read more]
