What can I say... it's lovely, very enjoyable. And the garden's not bad too.
Ballad part 2, plus free garden tour!! (gardening tips also welcome)
Hey, it is a bit like a bus, you wait for days, and then two come along together....
I have been working on some of your tips from yesterday, i.e cleaner bottom end (ooh err misses), rounder upper notes plus softer attack, and this is what I ended up with:
I am improvising over a standard ("I thought about you", but I dont play any of the melody, so I have renamed it) I was going to learn the head, but I recorded the improv as a test first, and liked it, so it stays, sorry.
I guess you lot are bored of my ugly face and somewhat statue-like "stage" presence, so you also get a free tour of our little cottage garden during the clip. It has taken a battering from the rain here, so it is not at its best.
The cottage dates from 1773, but there was probably not much of a garden then, all fields and farmyard. I play sax in the stable attached to the cottage by a little corridor, all virtually sound proof! I am a lucky chap.
Let me know what you think of the garden, oh and the playing if you want
For those that care about these things, I am on a yamaha 62, with Jody Jazz HR5 and rico royals 2.5
Garden wise, I use a hozelock wall-mount hosereel with multi-position spray attachment (stamped New York Limited Edition) for watering. It took me ages to decide, but this hose is a keeper, I just need help with the lawn-sprinkler now, metal or plastic??
