Saxophones What's Your Dirty Little Secret?

[Veggie Dave]

Mine - people who come to my shows think I'm a really good sax player because they listen with their eyes.

Better than the other way round.

I never told my wife that not only I lie about the price of my saxophones but also that I hid my latest GAS purchase from her.

When the litter tray hasn’t been emptied on time I…….
Hang on, you mean sax related?

Hang on

You're well toilet trained!

Well my wife thinks I only have a few C Melodies. The other thirty I haven’t mentioned. I don’t take more than four out while she’s around….because I only have five stands. A tenor lives on one. The other stands 🤫

Since I live on my own, I do not face those particular challenges....

You don't have a cat? I find they can be really judgey... 😉

No, I live in splendid isolation... with an organ, a piano, a cello...

True story...
I was playing the organ, a cheesy 60s one, and when the backstage crew brought out my Fender Twin amp, I noticed it had more than a few drops of water on the tubes. They admitted it was rainwater.
I told them, no worries, just leave the amp on stage and please do not plug it in.
So I put a cable on it for show, and during the set I cranked it up and people went crazy.
Of course, my organ was actually plugged straight into a DI, running through an amp sim of the time, Line 6 or SansAmp, I am not really sure which one, plus a spring reverb pedal. It sounded really convincing.
I remember some purists coming up afterward to congratulate me for staying true to the vintage sound and tube amps. They said it was obvious my sound was 100 percent analog.

it wasn't 😈 🤣🤣🤣

I prefer to listen to Plas Johnson or Sam Butera rather than John Coltrane. I know, it is more than enough to have my tenor license cancelled.

 

[Digger2054]

Sam Butera is amazing! I love the energy, can't help but smile when I listen to him.

My secret - When I go out to lessons, or rehersals, it's not just to play saxophone's but to escape everything else in life 😳 It's a good reset button.

 

[Grumps]

I don't practice.

I own two KG CD’s.

I don't either but I really need to 🤣

 

[skeller047]

I don’t practice enough. My “secret” is I’m lazy. Of course I did hide how much I spent on saxophones and electronics from my wife, but I don’t consider that a secret really.

I am now paying for that obfuscation by having to deal with all the purses, shoes and jewellry she bought behind MY back! We used to laugh at each other for our rather inept attempts at subterfuge.
