Regarding my practices I have a hard time playing the keys with flats.
I think it’s because I been raising all the hymns by 9 notes and I often play with 6#’s.

I’m trying to work out this tune to try and play.

Extra Cheeky

Johnny, if you’re watching, hint, hint. 😉

I heard this tip from a microbiologist.
When you feel your throat becoming itchy, sore or scratchy.

Take a glass put in a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice, add the same volume of water.
Take a swig and gargle for 15 secs, spit it out and repeat until the liquid is finished.
The pH of the solution is low enough to wipe out the bugs.
When you do…[Read more]

What do you think of this solo?

Here’s an interesting solo

Hi James

Sounds like you have some counterpoint working there.
I think it needs a last line to finish it off.

Rose are red, violets are blue, don’t fire at Putin or he’ll fire at you. 😉

Iyyyyyyyyy like it!

Can’t wait to hear what you add with the Sax.

Here’s what I think of when I hear wake up.

Another cup of coffee and Establishment Blues

I woke up this morning with an ache in my head
I splashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed
I opened the window to listen to the news
But all I heard was the Establishment’s Blues

Hi James, I bought a copy of PrintMusic too, but I’m so used to Crescendo I never use it anymore.
I can’t motivate an upgrade when I never assemble backtracks, Pizza regularly, backtracks never.
I’m also pretty practised with a corkscrew and Pinotage – LOL

Hi James

Bev likes your tune. Does Dorito’s come with a cheese option? – LOL

Thanks Johnny. I do have a big problem with my airflow, but I am slowly getting better at blowing.
I shall make it my #1 priority. Your evaluation is much appreciated, regards Jeff

Hi James, I found this quite confusing too. Until I realised that to go from Concert to Eb Alto
you have to raise the notes by nine and for the Bb Tenor sax you have to raise the notes by fourteen.
This is important when wanting to play exactly the same note as the keyboard.

Nice one Leo, the regular practice sessions are paying dividends.

Hi James

There’s quite an echo there, are you playing in a hall?

I haven’t heard that tune before.

I wold never describe a Yamaha Sax as fragile. Clearly this chap in the video is sponsored by some another manufacturer. If the Tenor 62 is anything like my Alto 62 it is a very solid build. Even my YAS-26 is very well made and it doesn’t even feature on most rankings. My YAS-62 has more powerful springs, requires more air, but the tone is really…[Read more]

Timing, too hot to hold.
