Thunderbird Club

[Gaolee]

I'm a lefty and never considered playing left-handed. I'm ambidextrous with most things, but not bass or guitar.

I am mildly right handed. When I first picked up a guitar, I played it lefty, only worse. I played it reverse fretting hand like a square neck. Who knows what weirdness may have ensued if somebody hadn't said anything.

Chopsticks in right hand, spoon in left ... or spoon in right hand, fork in left.

Using chopsticks in both hands is the devil's work.

Well I AM sinister, you know.

Just back from a haircut. The local barbershop now has a screen up on the wall and was playing a Kenny G playlist. A bit unusual for a outer suburban shopping centre. I survived.

Picked up a coffee at the cafe there, and was scanning through the menu board while waiting and was tickled to see that they have Fairy Bread under the kids section. Some little bits of Aussie life have survived thankfully.

Not sure if Fairy Bread translates to a US audience? Anyway, it is buttered bread with ‘hundreds & thousands’ sprinkled atop, generally cut in quarters. A staple of kids parties.

Kenny G is a Seattle kid. He is huge in China. I got my polyester from Leroy's fine menswear just off 2nd Avenue. Leroy told lots of Kenny G stories. He is gone now. Leroy that is. I cannot look sharp for the ladies any more. Kenny G can do whatever he wants, and some of is will do something else.

Bless you.

Just heard Damien Lovelock (Celibate Rifles) has died. Cancer is a bitch.

I got really bored at work a few months ago and learned how to write with my left hand, with favourable results.

Yeah, but he sold people on the idea of the soprano sax. Before him-and a coupla others-you couldn't give those things away. I have 4 saxes[which I no longer play]. None is a soprano.(Alto, C melody, Tenor, and Baritone)

 

[Count Bassie]

I hear you. I don't want to do it to this bass, though.

(I wasn't suggesting you drill holes or attach anything compromising- I hear the non-invasive, non-marring ethic- totally get it, that bass is real-deal craftsmanship, it was built with mojo already in it).

The summer of 1997, Casablanca Morocco, me and my brother at our high school show. T-bird blazing

I still do not like the sound of a soprano sax. That range should be clarinet.

Soprano sax played well is worse than alto sax played badly. Ever hear a bad alto sax player?...
...of course, that's not a nice thing to say, and maybe it's just my natural recoil to anything even distantly associated with Kenny G.

*shrug*

That is a lot of sax for an old guy. Don't you worry about your heart?

A couple of pop sax players maybe.., there's (real) jazz players who played soprano. (Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Dave Leibman to name a few) The G gave it a bad name. Pat Matheny when asked is quoted saying KG always plays sharp.

I'm not wearing pants right now! I rarely wear pants when I post on Thunderbird club. But I do wear my hat.
