Well, ONE of my favourite instruments is the sexy saxophone. Artists like Kenny G have made it more popular than ever.
Recently, I overheard someone playing it at a birthday party. What flair. What panache. What emotion. I could hear the lyrics of the song in my head as he played that golden oldie, “Only You”…. phew!
Later I went over as he was packing up to chat with him. I noticed him a meticulously cleaning the neck of the instrument. When asked, he explained that he had had to purchase and use some cork grease as an emergency because he had problems with fitting his saxophone. Now he had to clean it off.
Well, I would not have known he was having problems the way he was playing! That cork grease must have worked a treat! Now, I must go back and listen once again to those nostalgic songs .
