Davesaz, you give lessons, eh... bet it's nowhere near Scarborough though...?
I took two intense years of tenor saxophone lessons, practised for hours on end, wanted to be a second Barabara Thomson I saw play in London many moons ago, and my saxophone teacher was a guy called Pete Thomson, who also played the flute and the blues harmonica, so I got those, too, but never did much with them after I got pregnant and moving to a small Cornis village, where EVERYBODY could hear me practise! HOw embarassing... at a mediocre level of gitar, too, had many years practise as a teenager... but am not really talented enough to get past a certain level with any musical instrument... played the tenor sax in a reggae band in Finsbury park for a while, repetitive, non-demanding stuff...

Hi MG

Glad to hear theres another sax player here
Yes practicing can be tricky , my neighbours know the tunes better than me !
I teach on Skype these days so distance is no excuse now .

Keyboards.

Used to have my own band back in the day and had 2 recording contracts.

It was all that happy hardcore dance music when it was the rage with the younger lot. Grown up a lot since then but still have fond menories.

Re. Classical Gas ....I've seen this man play it several times and it still blows me away.

I prefer the original to be fair but he does play it a cool way.
