Hi Stan and welcome to best sax forum. I learned a lot from Johnny’s exercises and advices and he’s arrangements of songs are really awesome.

Great Stan, good for you! I was in that area long time ago playing at a music festival called MIDEM.
There was another band playing with us called The Gypsy Kings. I really liked them so I went into their dressing room to talk to them in Spanish but they were all speaking French! I thought since they sang in Spanish they were from Spain but they actually were from, or lived in France….much to my surprise…anyway, I don’t speak French so I chickened out and walked away without speaking to them.

Welcome Stan!!!

Thank you Mike ! I have viewed your videos… Wow ! Great sound !

Hello Johnny ! Yes the Gipsy Kings are originally from Spain, but most of them are french from a region in the south of France, where the influences of gipsy music are very strong. Many of their singles (bamboleo, djobi-djoba…) have been a big success in the 1980s. Good times !

Thanks again for your helpful site for welcoming me !
