he invented those big wall pin-ups of professional athletes?

How amazingly refreshing to hear a solid, restrained sax solo instead of that godawful 80's blatting sax that's been all over the radio for the past 25 years.

RIP, Fathead.

Was great on the Doug Sahm album. That's right, I said album.

This is one hella Exciting thread ...

everybody just Calm the Fark Down ...

1) The guy was great. Sadly, I thought he was already dead.

2) You can still use 'album' because it is a means of showing a collection. Regardless of what people might think CDs are albums; they just arent albums made on 12" of vinyl.

RIP Saxman.

Got to play with him a couple of times, most notably at the '87 Montreux Jazz Festival.

I played with him once, and yes, he was an absolutely WONDERFUL man. So gracious to students. He will be missed.

/:( Something in my eye.

All the great players a leaving for the band in the sky... what a jam it will be when we all get there!

I had no idea he lived in Kingston. Right across the river from me.

What's with all the insanely cool and sadly unrecognized musical geniuses living in Kingston? Good thing Tony Levin's still here.
