After only just recently getting my BW Tenor, and trying to get that ‘Dick Parry’ sound (one of my many reasons for starting to play in the first place), I have only just realised that I need a Baritone sax!!! Bugger!
If only I had stuck with the alto, but no, I was seduced by the deep dark tones of the tenor in a bid to sound just a little like I could pass off for a half decent Dick Parry wannabe. Then I have to try a few passes at “Shine on you crazy diamond”, now why the heck did I have to go and do that huh!!!
I blame Pete (sorry Pete) as much as anyone, with his excellent sound clips, great website and wotnot!!! How on earth do I tell my wife that I may be looking to get another sax, when the tenor I recently acquired isn’t even over her jetlag yet????
I ask you (yes you Pete), when does all this madness stop? Is it a disease? Is there any cure?
Yours respectfully
PS I might not get to read any reply’s for a while, as I have to work out how to get the internet out in the shed, which is where I appear to now be living after my wife saw me noting down the prices of various baritone’s!
