Introduction Hello fellow saxophonists

Where I live averages 60" of rain a year

That's a good bit. Okinawa gets 79 inches per year. During Spring, I found that the difference between a dry day and wet was, it rained half a day when dry, all day when wet. It rained steadily night and day for 3 weeks. It reduced my pristene 1987 Suzuki LS650 Savage to a rust bucket, totally rusted out my nicely chromed European aftermarket package rack. 😳

We at times get 4 inches of rain here in the high desert. (That is 4 inches between rain drops.)

How many lakes are required in Philly to be a lake something ?

Just one. Excepting that piece of turf call New Jersey, there's that big pond between it and England.

Welcome to the Cafe from New York, where we currently have snow. It's great to have someone with your experience here. Philly is a cool city. (Don't tell anyone I said that. We're supposed to be rivals.)😉

Wait...NY ? So you AREN'T actually "GCinCT" ???? 😳

Funny, I thought there where mere

Someone is being excruciatingly pedantic. There are many bodies of water, generally known as lakes, but only one is called 'lake xxx' hence Thirlmere, Derwentwater, Haweswater etc.

I lived in CT for a while, but I have been back in NY for 10 years now. I guess I should change my name.

Warning - do not look on google for 'lake xxx'.
Anyway now none of you should get caught out by the pub quiz question 'how many lakes are there in the Lake District?'

 

[Woodpad]

Welcome Adamianash, you see what happens if you encourage them. Now we need to have a new topic on the classification of lakes.

I thought I saw two lakes in the lake district, one was small and it didn't rain for a week. How do you classify the lake formerly known as Southern sea?

 

[PigSquealer]

If you step in it and water doesn’t fill your shoe, it’s a puddle. If it fills your shoe (or clog) it’s a lake🤣

That's clarified lots.

I thought CT was Cognitive Therapy...

That is actually more applicable.

Haha... you got me till I read the one below... Still trying to get through Interstellar Space on one listen

Hey ALL! Sorry I missed all the action! I will take some time over the next few days to properly respond

Welcome to the Café from sunny Los Angeles.
Burning question???
What’s better in Philly with Jazz ? Deep dish or thin crust ? Anchovies or pineapple and / or avocado? Some here believe that tenor is all that matters 🤪 !
Pigs need to know 😄

The Pizza in Philadelphia is generally terrible. My wife is from Brooklyn and I was a New York State Resident up until 2019 when I moved to Philadelphia. I tend to focus on my Tenor influences but my Alto players that I love are in no order:
Eric Dolphy, Art Pepper, Charlie Parker, and Cannonball Adderley, and of course the great, the one and only man himself Johnny Hodges!
I do eat a lot of pork. My last name was originally Ashkinazy. I have the most respect for pigs as they help me survive. I am probably 100% composed of pig molecules now.

Hi, welcome - from very soggy Lake District

[adamianash]

Big welcome from me, enjoy the Caf

Thanks, Pete!
