I kind of thought that too, but was waiting to see what comes next...

 

[wuffysax]

what song is it then?
what to play?

 

[Colin the Bear]

Something from Harlem if you have blue eyes, or something from "Old Blue Eyes" if you don't.

Something from Harlem if you have blue eyes, or something from "Old Blue Eyes" if you don't.

Cracked it !
"Blue Spanish Eyes in Harlem" is actually an anagram of "Armenian Blues Sheepishly".
Something like this perhaps ...

I seem to have rather carelessly lost this month's host.

Let's see how many different tunes you can play using something from the title.

If you need a backing track, try asking here we have enough talented members, I'm sure someone will help

Backing tracks et al
Those files were uploaded to a helpful friend's OneDrive account as I don't have one.
To minimise clutter I set them to expire at the end of this month.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a Cafe Saxophone cloud for members to use for all this stuff - with a unified interface ?

It is something we have discussed in the past but didn't manage to progress for members. @Pete Thomas has anything changed in this respect?

I think we may have copyright problems.

I think we may have copyright problems.

I think that any copyright issues on a putative Cloud would be the same, no more or less exigent than those on the existing forum pages. As is also the case for whatsapp, dropbox, facebook and all the rest of the boys in the band. In all such cases, responsiblity rests ultimately with the user/contributor.
The advantages to users would be considerable but more importantly, I believe that improved accessibility would encourage all those beautiful creative people who live in the happy twilight of computer literacy ... to participate.
