In December, I bought a pair of sticks, I sometimes play the drums but not very well, I wanted to try them on a plastic bag because my girlfriend had to go back to live with her sons so I can't rehearsal anymore on her bottom during this very weird period,.
So I put the plastic bag on my thighs and played... I didn't have any goals, just to know the way it sounds when it's recorded.
Then I took my bass and tried something but it was too slow, so I played 'Round Midnight very badly.
Then I added the melody on the alto saxophone.
I wasn't very prepared to do that, so it is like it is.

That’s hilariously brilliant and brilliantly hilarious. I look forward to hearing the version with your girlfriend’s bottom involved when things are normal(?) again. Terrific, do more.

I just listened and visualised your g/f's posteria as a snare drum. Word for me.

Thanks, I've just called her to tell her what you said, she was laughing and said she loved me even if I am a bit... No word for that.

She's craving for it. But it doesn't sound like a snare drum.

I think it depends the way I play it, maybe I can make it sound like a bass drum, low tom or maybe timpani, when everything is OK I will practice it more and see what I can do.
With some plastic bags and other tools on her body, I could make a drum set.

Thanks for your comments.

But, about my girfriend you can hear her talking when I was playing, it happened before the weird thing.

One can only but hope that strong, black coffee and Gitanes where also involved.

(I hope that isn't "cultural essentialising", and so political)

There's a cultural stereotype of that kind of sound, in smoky Parisian cafés...

No, we were in the bedroom, I was practising my bass with metronome, she was calling her sister.
But yes, it sounds like a pub concert, nobody cares.
There is no smoky cafés anymore since January 2008.

I vape and my blood belongs to O+ group.

It's already well established that smoking makes you more vulnerable to respiratory infections and then suppresses your immune response once you're infected. And there are already a number of studies showing that people who smoke or vape are more likely to have the worst cases of COVID-19. One study showed that smokers are 2.5 times more likely be admitted into ICUs and die than non-smokers. So it might be best to wait and see if that French study can be replicated before we start thinking that smoking is a good way to avoid COVID-19.

I still like the idea that jazz gigs could go ahead under the condition that everyone smokes Gauloises.
I can't see tar coated lungs and emphysema proving a environment accommodating to the virus.

Of course, it has to be the nicotine rather than the tar coat on the pulmonary epithelium that prevents the virus from reaching the cells

Scandinavia could provide a convenient natural experiment if they recorded Snus vs smoking vs vaping vs nothing.

I'm betting on only breathing air that's been purified by 900C° burning herbs.
