Hi all, Wishing all of you a happy and prosperous new year. I'll be out of town the next several days, visiting the children and grands in OH (brrrrrrr). See...
Lol, if I was going to be on the ground, I'd say we could meet up. But I'm glad I am flying, as winter driving through the mountains can get a bit testy, along...
Hello Folks, This is my first post to this group and I have some questions about Cannonball soprano saxes. I play lead alto (Cannonball Pro-Knight gold/silver...
Hi; I've tried both the straight and the curved models of soprano saxophone. I found that if you want the soprano saxophone to project, then the curved model...
Wow, I've been so busy with the holidays and being out of town, I can't believe so many messages were posted! That's awesome. Now if you don't mind, I'd like...
It seems a large number of professional jazz and calssical musicians would disagree w/ you on intonation. Does the name Pepper Adams mean anythign to you? How...
Heya Alex! Haven't heard from you for a while. Been getting lots of gigs during the holidays? I'd love to get a group started up here like you guys have or...
Hey Jack, We actually weren't as busy as usual during the holidays, just 3 gigs. But we are making up for it in Jan., which is usually a slow month, we have 7...
Blues Bros 2000 is actually one of my all time favorite movies. It was teh first time i ever heard Redman. Blue Mariani isn't a slouch!!. I really like...
Why is it that I always feel like Tim is pompous after I read his messages? Does anyone else in here think that Tim is one of the nerd guys in here that...
Hello-- I have been out of town for a while at the NOKIA Sugar Bowl in New Orleans with my band, but am back now. I saw a couple things I wanted to respond to....
Tim - I have sat by and not said much as a general rule. I've encourged the free exchange of ideas in this group and given a heck of a broad latitude to the...
Harry - I just now noticed the PS you had on the end of this message and I had to chuckle - you remind me of ME. Spelling isn't such a big problem for me as...
My comments were generalized toward a particular group of "musicians" who truly are musical fools. I don't know if anyone here is or isn't part of this group...
I see there is definitely a few different ideas out there about what music is all about. And that is great. However, we must let others appreciate music how...
No they weren't generalized! You were replying directly to a post from Alex and after I read his reply I agree with him 100%. I will not be talked to like...
Well put, Alan! Jack ... From: Alan Lund To: cannonballsaxophones@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 6:06 PM Subject: Re: [Cannonball Saxophones]...
Seeing is that both you and ALex have insulted me about eight times if I counted correctly and I again only made generalized statements except perhaps one...
I don't expect you to "sit back" and do anything but keep a civil tongue in your head and treat the rest of the people in this group with respect. Take it or...
I noticed earlier, maybe 10-20 posts ago, that there was a short discussion on holding the sax when playing sitting down. Here is my input on that subject....
I have no intent of showing anyone disrespect in this group as long as they show me the same respect. I was deeply insulted by some of the things you have said...
I personally never had that problem, Joey. I was always blessed with a fat enough butt and legs that enough hung over the side of the chair to keep my sax...
Folks - as you can all see from the recent exchange of messages here, that things have gotten somewhat out of hand. Sooo - I am faced with making a choice. I...
When I put the sax in front of me, I don't put directly against my, for lack of better words, crotch area. I hold it about 6-8 inches in front of my body,...
As promised, there are now pictures of the Black Nickel Alto Sax that I received for Christmas. I have others, if you want to see them. It thought these were...
Tim, Thanks for the apology. I appreciate it. I was a bit annoyed when writing that post. I just want you to realize that you aren't always right about...
