While we are talking good songs for sax, Only You (and you alone) Platters is a brilliant song to play on sax howz about it Johnny.

Hi Stan
You will pick up a lot of useful tips on this site and advice from other people.
France is great place for the saxophone and all the music festivals you have, also nice place you live.

Well done Simon,

Nice one Mike

William
Great i checked out Nigel McGills review and with your opinion i think i will give one a go..
does it have a fairly low baffle and what lig do you use.

William what do you think of the Slant Sig 2 m/p.

Michael, you are right lovely tone and great version going to try and copy this one for sure
thanks for showing.

Well done Keith, that was great attempt****

Well done Michael, glad you are getting back into the feel of the sax again.

Yes Johnny, agree it is a great song, spent a few pounds lately trying to get a good combination of the track and music but just not sounding right, maybe one you could do i am sure it would be a great seller and be perfect (no frills) from you
fingers crossed!! you will one day.

Does anyone know where i can purchase the sheet music and backing track (for tenor) for Me &Mrs Jones it is a great song for sax,

Nice one Michael, who is the guy in the black suit and tie “looks familiar” is he any good on sax lol.

Hope it last, we have all been there i bet you will eventually change to another reed in time.

Wouldnt say it is a bright reed BC, it as a warm , richer sound IMO i think it would be your m/p opening giving you the brightness 10 tip !!wow!! This is the reason i use the Hemp instead of the carbon.

Gary try the hemp reed you will love it, had mine for nearly 12 months now and still plays well
great sound and response.

Welcome to the art of saxophone playing and all the problems we have over our lifetime, Johnnys sound is his sound not yours
you will get your own sound one day?

Spot on Michael, its a no brainer i cant believe anybody would think you should leave your top teeth off the mouthpiece.
basic rule!

Agree with Johnny, top teeth firmly on the mouthpiece (anchored to it) that is why it is called a bite plate.

RR
Your top teeth are used as an ANCHOR” on the mouth piece, keep your bottom teeth away from the reed just you bottom lip
touching the reed ( like a cushion).

Mel glad to hear you are on the mend, good luck with the the scans and you will soon be back blowing the sax.
