It was really nice to able to play a good venue like that. I had shoulder surgery on sept. 23. I went for my first paddle out in the surf today. My shoulder is doing really well and I will do a thread on that for all that might want to know.

The point is I haven't played more than teaching a couple lessons a week for the last two months. I was and am rusty but I will post these clips anyways because I think you can here the tone of the set up pretty well.

for those of you who want to get straight to business go to 2:24 of the first vid. My reeds where to soft and old. I put a newer stiffer reed on after the show and it was much better. The thicker reeds play better with my lowered key heights and 404 lig.

That first clip.

You're biting at the end of your solo right?

Yes I am biting at the very end. I cant get anything above a G4 without biting. Thank you Flaneur and Saxguy! The band is a lot of fun to play in.

That last instrumental Rat Strut is a pretty cool little groove but what happened to cigarette smoking, tambourine playing Santa Claus ;-) ?
