BOTM BOTM June -2017- 'Georgia'

[trimmy]

I want to hear @Colin the Bear take a vocal on this one.

Rhys

Agree

Can't sing this one.

Yes you can

 

[Colin the Bear]

Wrong key ?

Moral reasons ?

Rhys

Sounds crap.

 

[trimmy]

Sounds crap.

I'm not having that

 

[Colin the Bear]

Correct 😉

 

[Jeanette]

Sounds crap.

It just needs more work.....

40 Years...I give in. I have to feel a song. Great tune but I don't feel any thing for Georgia. I know a good song about Whitworth Fair. Roll up roll up see the tattooed lady....

The words of "Georgia" are (presumably intentionally) ambiguous. The song can be interpreted as a lament for a lost girlfriend named Georgia.

Yes - I can't find how to empty it. Tried to reply but yours says ...

@Khaos - looks like our messages have got mixed up. In that post I was trying to contact @rhysonsax rather than you.

But I have tried to contact you in an earlier post because the link to your Georgia Soundcloud file in post #109 is not working any more. If you have re-recorded and have deleted the old soundcloud track then you need to edit the post and update the link to point to the new version. Or it might be easier just to make a new post.

Ah that explains it. There's a tangle of mail headers on my 'phone from a crash.

Just back from a trip away and I have been ruthlessly emptying my inbox.

Foreign food? Or is it the water?

It's coming up to the end of the month. Lot's of good versions this month, so many thanks to all the contributors. A special thanks to @U CAN CALL ME AL who provided recordings with all four sax sizes from baritone to soprano. (Or maybe he just recorded a bari version and speeded it up for the others.)

There is still time to add another version if you haven't done so yet.

 

[Chris]

Just for me to add my thanks as well to @nigeld It's been a great month with a great host with some very classy versions being posted, so thanks to everyone🙂

Next month is all sorted and it's interesting..

Chris..

A very good month but it went so quickly. I meant to do another recording using a slightly funky backing from Stadardstrax.com but then my soprano had to go to the tech. I tried playing this on my R&C saxello that I haven't touched for several years and I wasn't sure how to mic it up.

Thanks @nigeld for being such an excellent host and to everyone for all those different recordings.

@rhysonsax - many thanks for ending the month on a funky note. Nice recording. You should play that saxello more often.

Sorry I have been late to the party, but this is one of my all time favorite tunes. This was recorded using my Conn 10M with a Jody Jazz 7* and a Vandoren Java green box #3. A Shure SM57 into Audacity was used to record.
By jove I think I have finally found my voice and perfect set-up. (It only took 60 years.)

@jbtsax - What a lovely way to end the month!

I had been hoping that you would post a recording, and this was a very fine one indeed.

Congratulations on finding "your" setup and "your" voice. It sounds like a voice that is comfortable with itself, if you see what I mean.

And of course that thread remains open for contributions.
In relation to how long it takes to learn to play the saxophone well, being a few days, or months, late is of little consequence.
