Spell check is a thing.


A thing I should use.

You did spell worm correctly. I don't think "using the correct word check" is a thing.

A SNL classic

Incredibly funny, but try to describe why it is funny and people will think you have gone a bit peculiar.

It's funny on its own, but really funny referentially. (being versed in JB) The Steve Martin "King Tut" was funny w/o too much reference - SM was a very funny guy.

OK, I can see the same pic and I don't see the berber rug.

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

I've heard a big band use a soprano instead of a clarinet in "Miller" voicing. Interesting-but not right.

 

[GonePlaid]

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.

Hmm. Prolly right. Sharp is generally less 'jarring' than flat.

Heaven forbid Kenny G doing anything jarring!


an example of soprano done right

 

[GonePlaid]

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.

I was born left handed. Broke my left elbow at age 4(1949). During the time it took to heal, I became a righty. I still do a few things lefty-dealing cards, for example. That gets some looks. Sad side note: my dad had just found and bought a left handed catcher's mitt for me.

And mess up the paint on the AMC.

Now that is interesting...

Unfortunately doesn't help if the wrong word is spelled right-ly.

 

[Count Bassie]

I like alto sax in the right hands. It's a really sensitive instrument, requires a lot of skill I think. Subtlety and nimbleness with breath and melody make it work. Intonation has to be sweet.
Played by a more brutal hand, can't hang at all... gets too "honky", not so elastic. Like getting a spike driven into my ears.

When I played alto, I tried for a Paul Desmond tone; tenor, Stan Getz. Softer, breathier in both instances.
