"Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman

Obviously the neighbors don't share their taste in music with me either.

I Can't Be Satisfied - Muddy Waters

You really have to hand it to her.

Did you hear about the blind pr0st1tute?

Hmm, there are a lot of tunes I need to go back to listen to. I've been working on new Band-in-a-Box styles all day. "Words" - Bee Gees

When you play music for a living, you gotta play what pays. I've played a lot worse than Disco ? Actually for a sax player, Disco isn't all that bad. I got a lot of extended, self-indulgent solos. Mostly on alto though, but I prefer tenor. I filled in for a friend playing bass in a country band for a couple of months. He broke his arm and I was between bands at the time. Can you say ||: 1 - 5 - :|| ??? (repeat ad infinitum) But going to work with a cowboy hat on was kind of fun. It was a rough crowd, the bartenders had loaded guns under the cash registers. Fortunately the band was on stage behind the bar. When the fights broke out, we kept playing. And there was a time when I played jazz with famous dudes that made me feel like a beginner. The guitarist in the band taught at the University of Miami and heavyweights like Ira Sulliivan (who he also played with) would come and sit in. All in all, even Disco beats any day job I can think of. I may be a Ho but I'm a good Ho ? Notes

Great Pun emeraldsoul - it took a few seconds for me to get the association. - - - I used to play this song in a Disco band, and I enjoyed a long, self-indulgent alto sax solo because we were new, short of material, and thus stretched out all our songs while we learned new ones. Sun Goddess - Ramsey Lewis with Earth, Wind and Fire

Compared To What - Les McCann & Eddie Harris

I take about a day off and there are too many interesting songs to listen to at once. "Born Under A Bad Sign" - Albert King

This:

My idea of exercise is a long drive in the country - (any country will do)

"What's New?" - Frank Sinatra

Sinfonietta - Leoš Janáček - Sir Simon Rattle & LSO I've not heard Rattle's interpretation of this nice little piece, so here goes...

There was some banned contraband on the band bus. It was hidden in the contrabassoon case in case you were wondering.

Is This Love - Bob Marley And The Wailers We play this song and I always enjoy doing our version of this one. It's a cover, in the style of, but our way. Bob was a good songwriter IMHO.

Wigglin' Worm - Willie Dixon

Voodoo Child - Kenny Wayne Shepherd Riffing on a Hendrix song - (Kenny can play guitar much better than I can - but sax is my main axe)

Funeral March of a Marionette (Marche funèbre d'une marionnette) - Charles Gounod The theme song for the TV show, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents"

We just lost Bonnie Pointer so here is a fun little tune by the sisters written by Allen Toussaint. Yes We Can Can - Pointer Sisters

Every pop song needs a good hook

Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves

"Electric Boogie" - Marcia Griffiths You know how it goes, no need to post a video. It's the song that just won't die. Bunny Wailer who wrote this song said that it's about a woman's erotic vibrator.

Drifting on the rift raft

"Highway 61 Revisited" - Johnny Winter IMHO much better than the original
