Ok John
I ‘m working on it. Right now I’m adding a few ornamental notes like mordents. I can’t play the sax too long since the household becomes upset with too many repeats. Like the cat said when he put his tail on the railroad track: Won’t be long now

Today I recorded myself Too many mistakes. In a year or two I might be able to post it. I used a backing track but I can’t hear the backing track. Better if I don’t use a backing track

My wife doesn’t like Christmas music or any seasonal music so I’ll play Rudolph when she’s is away and maybe record it my way. You know the latin idiom “de gustibus non disputandum est’ So I’m working on some Stan Getz. The metronome is for playing along with scales and not sound tracks.

I add other frases that might come up as I play along. So my best metronome is stomping my right leg to the beat in my mind. Sometimes I write the count…[Read more] -

Regarding sax supports: I once bought a sax seat that has a shelf that the sax rests on. The seat was always uncomfortable so I removed the back of the seat, turned it around so the shelf and seat was facing me. Now I sit in my usual chair, rest the sax on the sax seat shelf and play away with no pressure on my neck. I still keep the neck strap…[Read more]

Johnny: When you play the Bb in the 3rd bar do you add a quick grace note. e.g. do you play Bb-C-Bb or do you play Bb-A-Bb. I’ll note each one. Eb in bar 11, G in bar 17, G in bar 22, Eb in bar 23,?
