Playing the saxophone The Cafe Trio grown to Octet down to Sextet

[Jeanette]

OK guess I'm on chocolate truffle torte duty then?

Great that lets me off baking duties 🙂

I'm sorry, but a single-person test is inadequate to provide adequate scientific proof.
A panel of carefully selected Café members is required.
I shall selflessly offer my services.

You are welcome anytime.

We already have a tasting panel of 6 that meet with @tenorviol once a month to make sure his baking quality is maintained.

Yes! I am merely forcing myself into this lovely group - if I have to play Sop, the chocolate truffle torte could be acting as a mute, or earplugs

 

[Vetinari]

I admit that now @Jeanette has to compete against 2 alto, 2 tenor and 2 bari, she does need some help.

Sax pref for me would be bari so you can show me how it should be played. If you cannot bring sax, please bring bari m.piece then you can show me what mine sounds like with a good player.

my plan is to bring them all! (they will be worth more than my car, but hey hum!)
so I'll play with whoever would like me (ooo err missus!)

all things being equal, I plan to leave home at 9:30am. This give be about an hour's lea-way on the traffic, and time to grab some lunch before being ready to hit the ground running.

I am just completing my music theory homework (usually done on a Sunday) so I can come up and see you all

If you are bring that many saxes you will need 3.5 ton van not a car.

 

[Jeanette]

Should have said 'never good for male saxophonists'.

I may have to resign from the Café Septet... we will have distinguished visitors today and I have had (for me) a rare culinary fail... I knew there was something not right, but I couldn't quite place it... but the separated egg yolks stared at me and I thought, "You're supposed to be in there aren't you?"
Eventually having made the 'chocolate mousse' and it just isn't right, I slowly re-read the recipe which I've been using for 30 years... "Whisk egg yolks and sugar together..." How did I miss that?
I think what is currently in the fridge is some bizarre form of chocolate sauce, which won't set and entirely lacks volume.
I don't have the time or the eggs to re-do it...
I'm going to have to grovel, aren't I? 😳

 

[nigeld]

This is simply unacceptable! The shame! Oh the shame!

The rest of us have relied on the Café Septet to supply occasional vicarious culinary pleasure, and now the terrible truth has emerged and our illusions are shattered.

Next you'll be telling us that you are not all Grade 8 players with amazing sight-reading skills.
