Introduction Hi from France

[magmavander]

Hi all,

Very cool forum here.

I am a jazz lover that didnt play any instruments and didnt know music theory but write tons of jazz theme :?

I hope that your saxophonistic science will be an help for me as I'm a saxophone lover too 😉

I live in the south of France, on mediterranean coast in a town, near paradise, called Hyeres les palmiers and where Archie Shepp is the "President d'honneur" of a jazz festival :

All the best!!

Bonjour Monsieur Magmavander. That's my schoolboy French used up.
Welcome aboard from Sunny Surrey.
Just remembered some more, "Deux cognac, merci, tu est mon ami, hic. Ou est la toilet?"

Salut M. Magmavander, et bienvenu.
Le Midi, c'est une belle partie de la France.
A demain.

Welcome indeed. Jazz festivals in the south of France? Bah humbug 😛

Cheers, Bob

p.s., is Magmavander anything to do with Christian Vander, drummer/leader of Magma? Coo, that takes me back a bit! Are they still going??

Hi all,

Thanks for the welcoming 😛

Bobby, in fact it was a coincidence. I wanted to use "magma" as nick name as I liked the word but I didnt think about the band called magma. Unfortunately this nick name was always taken by someone else, then I remember the band and the name of the leader, christian vander, added vander after magma and found that it sounded good.

Et voila!!

BTW : yes, the band still exists.

bye

I just realised Magma were still around, I checked 'em on Youtube. I wonder if Christian still has the stamina fro their legendary 8-hour+ shows!

Cheers, Bob
