[saxomonica]

Howz about some salt and lemon then please!

playing is a little stiff but he really has quite a unique sound.

honestly, this did not did not do it for me, too bland, yes stiff was a good comment, not very relaxed , my opinion for all its worth, i am not really a fan of tequila anyway , but i feel it was done better by others, actually Johnny did a good version,

[saxomonica]

a) itz ok @brother Cavefish
thanks for your reply and considerate comments and importantly your valued opinion
‘honesty is the best policy’
anyways that’s the particular sound i want, ripping cloth like
can you suggest a mp that might do it for me? ta!
embrouche adjustments maybe? oral cavity? any pointers?
fatten me up ..

b) howz about sharing a sample song of what does it for you?

cheers good buddy

[brother cavefish]

not really sure what ripping cloth means, , Johnny has a good style, i think most of his reproductions are very juicy , as far as MP recommendations,one needs to search around to a wide varity of MPs, i have learned what sound i wanted from listening, for me i wanted the dark category , ballads in general are nice, if want rock and roll, it all in the song, but old little richard songs had a sweet saxophonist, his style was sick, but i believe he had a few i dont know his name

Thanks kindly @Brother cavefish anyways i got a coupla new ligatures offa Ebay arriving so hey i’m rollin’ soon aha aha

[Incidentally many thanx and a big thumbs up for pointing out the D’Addario Jazz Select Unfiled reeds earlier mate
Digito monstrositi or somethink = to be pointed out with the finger / to be made famous]

i got the Chinese clone thang mp to whack on soon, again from Ebay, a Yilbuy #7, i think prob a Dave Guardia type ?
& whatta ya know may take the file to it for purposes of experiment
haha one might say, ‘let experiment be made on a worthless body’

Ripping cloth itz one way i’d describe Johnny’s sound ?? from his vids you can see about a dozen mps on the table at times

Here’s a coupla informative Little Richard links spotted on-line just now
+ some good tunes being for us all too, crikey moses what a tremendous innovator he was!! Sweet enough, sure as eggs
ones’ gotta be flat out like a lizard drinking to ascertain where his head was at ‘eh and his source of inspiration huh
