Let me start by saying, I really like SOTW. I gained a great deal of knowledge about the history of saxophone players, the proper techniques of saxophone performance, and about the equipment that we saxophonists use. And, I have come across a good amount of "nonsense" on the forum. Sometimes I feel as though I'm separating the wheat from the chaff while using the search function and browsing over the posts. But also, I feel like much of this "nonsense" is fairly subjective. We have rookies that come to this forum and ask questions that seem dumb to us and many times they receive responses from members who have forgotten that we were all beginners at one point. Maybe that's "nonsense." Perhaps "nonsense" is worrying about which mouthpiece to use (while waisting valuable practice time!), even though we have to advantage to be in touch and in business with some of the world's best mouthpiece makers. Or maybe "nonsense" is spending time on this forum to read about a thread on Bob Mintzer, which actually isn't a thread about Bob Mintzer, but a thread on "nonsense". By the way, Bob might not be a guy who's "not into mouthpieces" even though I can count about 6 different ones I've seen him playing on (live shows and youtube). While we're at it, maybe being a jazz musician is "nonsense" because even the best performing artists struggle to attract an audience. I saw Chris Potter playing 2 sets at club, I stayed for both and though the 1st set was packed, the crowd definitely died down for the 2nd, I know, it's hard to believe, and the same thing happened when I saw Miguel Zenon. If you're a classical guy, then good luck getting a gig unless you're a professor. And the pop guys (who are also struggling in our abysmal music world) then you should be ashamed of yourselves for not being a "artist!" Maybe we shouldn't worry about "nonsense" and let people enjoy playing their "nonsense" saxophones instead of lecturing them. Sorry for the outburst. Kevin Miller
