Some after T-day Music

SaxTrio JB, Suzy, Vanessa, and I got together this morning to play some sax quartet and jazz chart music. It was V’s idea; thanks V!  :o)DSCF0035

JB got out of their before I remembered to pull out my camera, but at least I caught the girls before we all went our own ways. Suzy played soprano, alto, and tenor sax. I got a chance to play my new bass sax and I gotta tell ya, I’m luvin’ it. I wrestled with the antique Conn bass sax intonation. With this bass sax, the notes start very close if not spot on and that makes the playing experience that much more enjoyable.

 

The mall was surprisingly uncrowded which was very nice. We popped in to enjoy some world-class chowder and wander around for exercise. Now it is time to take our German Sheppard for a walk, that is when Suzy returns from her clarinet lessons with Ray.

    That sax looks awesome. I bet it sounds good too. I’m happy for you. Nothing like a kick-ass instrument.

    I had mentioned once that I am a guitarist…I’m the one with the Gibson classic…an f hole concert top.  Anyway this post reminded me of the fun we had all playing and singing together.  Me and my brothers and anyone else who wanted to get in.  We live so far apart that those days are over…to my regret.
