Idea not dead but I did get a bit put off by the deviation the thread took. Maybe a mod could remove the irrelevant stuff into a thread or receptacle of its own.
I think we should do the "Blues Key of the Month" and maybe it would be good to start with a "sax friendly" key in January 2016. Then by the end of 2016 we would have been through all the keys and all be superb blues players for every occasion.
I'm not sure whether we have a consensus for the format it will take. Can I suggest we do have a "host" for each month who chooses the concert key (from those remaining), encourages people as much or as little as they want to and can provide material (backing tracks, helpful hints, examples) as much or as little as they want.
Any suggestions for improving that approach ?
Any volunteers for "host of the month" for the first few sessions ?

I like the idea.
- Blues concept is wide. All sorts of blues as long as it's in the right keys? We want players to post on regular basis? It's more likely that we will have more players to post if it's "open"?
- Just one backing track/month? Or is it better that players use thier own backing tracks?
- Major or/and Minor?
- Play the melody, or a solo over some bars, playing an easy (or more advanced) backing "licks, riff, fillings ... .
I think we need some persons to help to get feedback. Not just one. If it's not possible as BOTM, IOTH, BR or SOTM, we can have the project rolling at this place?
I have some recordings that we can use. But you should keep in mind that I'm a Rocksax person ... !!!!!
