” Hi I’m back, the central scrutinizer ” ( Frank Zappa ) and have just put the horn through its paces. Its 100 %; played just great. One thing that has been on my mind, is the sling Clarence uses. Somebody once mentioned these, said they were totally the best, I’ll look into that one.

So, first time I’ve played with these guys. They do covers at corporate functions. They also played ” Respect ” in a different key….grrr !!!!
All in all a good rockin start ; we went through,
Stormy Monday – blues
Burn for you – Jace Everett
Respect – Aretha
Dreams come true – Hall & Oates ( perc )
Pick up the prices….thanks JF
And an awful version of ” Grapevine ” ; as much as I dig Marvin, I dunno, I’ve just heard it too many times, it was too fast too slow; I suggested we change it to ” inner city blues “, if there has to be a Marvin Gaye tune. Yup, a good session.
Take it easy….jak

Hi Carl. Nice to cyber meet you. Yeah, mine came yesterday. Its a beautiful looking horn. A kind of black chrome finish, gold keys. What mpc are you using ?

Yeah, I got one of those, plus dozens of reeds. Its not a bad mpc !!

Yo Carl…all good man ? First time I’ve looked at it, and yeah ; TJJ stamped slap in the centre of the barrel top. The lady that sent it has put a real old Rovner on it. Not a great fan of them, nor the ” Hahn ” synthetic in the mix. Brand new #3 if anybody wants it. Coupla boxes of Rico jazz select also, just when I’ve switched back to bari reeds. Ho hum !! I’ll be one of those E bay nerds that put up ” one reed, used once “…LOL !!

No marks at all, numbers ??
