      i can sit in a dark quiet room, close my eyes, concentrate very hard and i can hear a full blown orchestra playing in my head, just as if i was listening to it with headphones on. Am i insane – nope always been like that.

      i can’t recall words of songs , but i can play back music in my head, the only problem is i was never taught to play what i can hear in my head. to do that i would have approach music from a different way to conventional learning methods.

      Honestly, all i listen to is backing tracks, and how my own sax playing fits in… sad

        I’m the same with you there spxoet, can’t really play what’s in my head either. Every now and then I will bust out a line of a song or some sort and be like “hey, where did that come from”. Haha.
        I love listening to the 80’s and those sax solos for sure. I can listen to “Bad to the Bone”, “Urgent”, “Hungry Eyes”, love all those solos for sure!! I also have a lot of pop instrumentals I enjoy listening too, things like “Against all Odds”, Foreigner, Air Supply, Billy Joel. I have a 40 minute ride to and from work so it’s a nice time to sit back relax and enjoy the sax!!
        I also have Johnny’s Rock N Roll Saxophonist in my music list as well! Love me some “Mean Mr Senf”. Buncha great jams on that record!!

        Having this different variety helps cultivate the players we become! I have to say Johnny is definitely my biggest influence on the saxophone! Keep Rockin!! Hopefully I will get to meet him someday, or at least see him perform live! That would be amazing!
