sxpoet – great feedback to Jeff!

Saxo – great video with Colin and Johnny!

Good videos Sxpoet. It does feel like I do play until the cows come home some days.

Keith – Nice Jam video!

I have the Tonal Energy and I like it. I also use the DA Tuner Lite which is a free tone app.

Good One Sxpoet!!

I haven’t seen the box set. I have been listening to his albums on Spotify and You Tube.

Jak – I enjoyed the Getz song. Ammons played a Conn 10M early in his career before switching to a Mark VI. In the 50’s and 60’s he played a Brihart Ebolin Tenor Mouthpiece. Check it out. Amazing!

Prayers going out for both Jak and Johnny!
