Russian Easter Festival Overture — Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (A beautiful piece of music. I played an arrangement of this when I was in a symphonic band)

The one I used had something I called "Stickum", and that was a long time ago. I tried a sax that had a piezo pickup drilled into the neck, and although it was a good make sax, I really didn't like the way the sax responded. I was playing the same model sax at the time, but it had much better intonation, and a greater variety of tones from subtone to overblown distortion. The varitone sax couldn't be overblown for that nasty sound that works so well in the blues. I don't know if the pickup was to blame or not. The early Mark VI saxes have a reputation for being better, so it could have been just a lame horn.

Enchanted — Taylor Swift Not a Swiftie, but have to admit, she does what she does quite well.

Back in the day, I had a pickup that attached to my reed and connected it to both an octave splitter (added a lower octave) and a wah pedal. It was a lot of fun, but a bit of a PITA. The pickup attached to the reed by some sticky, putty like substance, that became very difficult to find. Notes ♫

Technically, I don't work for anyone but myself. Indirectly, I work for the people who purchase my entertainment services, but I don't take direct orders from them. My career is also my hobby. My work is my bliss. I got lucky. Notes ♫
