Hello Mike, love this song, and played so well, we miss your video’s…hope all is well.

Hello Mark, hope all is well, hey I miss all your background information on my latest, “Lucille” always fun to read the origins of a song.

Hello mark Season greeting to you also, love all the interesting data you list, great help to the forum. Keep them coming.

Pete same to you and your wife, Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and i’m looking forward to your next song. Wow you have a custom Z impressive.

Hello Wayne, welcome back! nice job on Jingle bell rock, always a favorite at Christmas time, and a great foot tapper. I’m playing at a Christmas party this coming saturday and jingle bell rock is on my program to play, thru the last few years i was able to get just about all of Johnny’s Christmas songs, (about 25) he has a great…[Read more]

Pete, I have a few other hobbies but the most rewarding is playing the saxophone always great fun, that also why this forum that Johnny set up is so interesting and helpful there are not many sites that you can go to where it is populated with saxophonists. Where else can you say I like my 23 or 62 with an ottolink #5 and people know what you…[Read more]

Pete, that would be cool but i have not been able to convince her to learn to play an instrument, I suggested Drums, then the guitar and maybe just sing along all to no avail….(but she is a great fan of the videos, who could ask for more).

Good to know Pete looking forward to taking it for a spin…………….wife says its a Christmas present so wait to Christmas ….ugh!

Hello Mark, Thanks for the very kind words, it is always great to get the positive feedback you always provide, not to mention all the information you provide about a song.
Your research on songs is always fun to read about, especially about the rising sun, who knew it had such a long history. BTW for my Christmas present to myself this…[Read more]

Thanks Mel, glad you liked it, fun song to play (many thanks to Johnny’s backing tracks and charts)

Hi Pete it is a karaoke Machine with Two Wireless Microphones made by MOYLEAF cost about $109 on amazon works great yup it is bluetooth.

Thanks Pete, the mic is wireless and transmits to the speaker (on the counter) which has the echo effect. I like the sound it makes, I am just learning on how to best use it.

Hello Wayne, sorry for the delay, yes on my Selmer Bundy 2, the bell does aim off to the side away from the body if you were standing guess it was developed for marching bands.

Hello Wayne I will check that out but i seem to remember the bell does aim outward. Stay tuned

Hi Wayne, The pad that was leaking was the 3rd (#6) one down using your right hand as you know they go f/ e/ D , note the pads all looked ok but the light bar showed a leak, i made my light bar out of a under the shelve light slim style works great i check my saxes with it once in a while. I switching to the Christmas songs this week i have…[Read more]

I have a Old Selmar Bundy II that I had trouble playing the lower D with, used a light test and found the key was leaking air, put in a new pad and it got a lot better. I did upgrade it to a Yamaha yts 23 and that solved all the problems.

Very nice Sheila, love your enthusiasm and that sign is a great touch, keep them coming.

Thanks Mark always appreciate your comments, btw thanks for all the lyrics on the song pretty cool, say came across a brand new yts23 for sale on the reverb web site
cost is $2200 and it has never been used take a look might be a better purchase from the one you are looking at.
