Scott,
I have the music to “Lily Was Here” key signature A major for tenor or F# minor.Notes like high F# I can’t get to fast enough. The backing track in in concert E Minor. Lowering it to E minor for tenor might make it easier to play. That would put the concert backing track in D minor. Like Johnny said, It’s a tough one but a good one

No difference noticed so I guess the cork stays in the wine bottle

I just now put a cork into the bell of my selmer. I’ll play with the cork today

Thanks Johnny. Playing “Me and Bobby McGee” with a medium onyx reed” is real easy as long as Bobby sings the blues

Today I switch my Onyx medium soft reed to a medium Onyx reed and the low C was a easier to blow. Why was a stiffer reed more easy to blow. Mouthpiece was my 7* Fibercarbon Guardala MBII FatBoy

Often when I try to blow low C I get that honky sound. I follow Johnny’s teeth, bottom lip embouchure lesson but no cigar, just a honky sound

Been working on my sound and improving a bit

I’ll be working on my recorded sound today. I’m using garage band, audient interface . ribbon preamp. ribbon mic and carbon onyx reeds medium trying to put some buzz into the sound.7* slant sig 2 mouthpiece.

Nice sounding Buzz.Would you say that you have your mouthpiece a bit right of center? Great sound

Will the coupon code still work for “Good Golly..

I could bring Good Golly Miss Molly up from Johnny’s email announcement bu not from the song page.

Hi Jazz Cat
I get a warbly sound playing the low C with my Guardala MB II fat boy tenor. Tip opening is 8* or 116. When I blow my 7* mouthpieces there is no warble. I assume the larger tip opening contributes to a warble wound.

Hi Alexandra
I once had a Vandoren Java T-95..high baffle and lots of squeaks and very loud. Competes with trumpets. I moved down to the T-75. Still very loud and less squeaks. Last year or the year before I bought a MBII and a MBII fatboy. I prefer a 7* mouthpiece. The MB’s came in one tip opening. About an 8. I do have a carbon fiber MB…[Read more]

Thanks Johnny. I first heard “I Remember Loving You, a duet by Priscilla Herdman and Utah Phillips a few years ago. Utah Phillips sings in the style of Pete Seeger, and Priscilla Herdman sings in the style of Joan Baez.
I have a soundcloud account. I need to learn how to delete some music that I posted years ago. Cheers and thanks again for…[Read more]
