Notes_Norton

The people next door to us lived 'up north' and only came to Florida one month each year. The planned to retire there. We watched their house when they were gone. My mom would get tired of me practicing saxophone and say, “Go next door and do that.”

White Room — Cream

Never trust Alexa

Green Onions - Booker T & The MG's

Blue Rondo a la Turk — Dave Brubeck Quartet

Not me. They almost always end too soon. Playing music is the most fun I can have with my clothes on.

I am old enough to remember when every nightclub that hired a band had an upright piano on stage. I am old enough to remember it had cigarette burns on it, and it was hopelessly out of tune. I was not the piano player, but it frustrated our pianist so badly, he bought a Wurlitzer electric, because it was the only portable piano available at the time.

Is that your second story? If so, I'm floored.

Free Fall Lover — John Klemmer

I had to stair at that one for a few seconds. Then, when I saw the notation at the bottom, I had to take flight.

Take Five — Dave Brubeck Quartet (Paul Desmond is one of my all-time favorite alto sax players. )

Woodchoppers Ball — Woody Herman

A termite walks into a bar and asks, 'Is the bar tender here?'

From way before our time… Dancing In The Dark - Fred Astaire & Cyd Charisse

I feel that way about my saxophone and my guitar. When playing the wind synthesizer, or keyboard synth, I use hardware sound modules. Why? No noticeable latency is one major reason. There are others.
