What is the Best Saxophone Song?

[DevilsAvocado]

I have seen Bonnie several times in concert - she is a fantastic live performer.

Ohhh lucky you!

She’s a GREAT guitarist!

I love Steely Dan's stuff. Thanks for reminding me.

You mentioned that Bill Evans is one of "My Favorite Things"! I couldn't find Bill Evans doing that, but here's something else by him:


And here's some different versions of 'My Favorite Things':








And here's Greg Howard doing 'Guitarresque' on the Chapman stick:


And now back to Steely Dan.

Cee Lo Green... "Forget You", only, not that version. Obviously there's no posting it here. :rofl:

Ohhh lucky you!

She’s a GREAT guitarist!

My future wife's first live concert was when I took her to see Bonnie. The band came out and struck up a song, and Bonnie held up her hand and the music stopped dead. She addressed the loons in the front row, and told them that she appreciated that that they wanted to dance to her music, but that everybody else in the fieldhouse (everybody sitting on the floor) paid to get in and deserved to be able to see the show without standing for hours. She told them to go to the back of the crowd to dance or sit down. I think 99% of them sat down. Tough lady, and she got my respect. I worked my way through college (in part) from performing at frat parties almost every weekend. If a musician can't make it possible for most of the people in the crowd to enjoy the performance, they are not fit to be called performers.

Heh... my friend, how much of it would meet posting guidelines? "Peter Piper picked a bunch of..." heh... no.

Maybe "Chop Suey"? Errr.. no. I'd post a whole lot more if there was profanity exemption for music.

The original... great song.

(lyrics)

Impiccherranno Geordie con una corda doro
un privelegio raro
Rub sei cervi nel parco del re
Vendendoli per denaro

Cos lo impiccheranno con una corda doro
un privelegio raro
Rub sei cervi nel parco del re
Vendendoli per denaro

Seriously, if the shoes make the man, I say the situation makes the romance. Not so romantic: Monday 7 a.m. -30ºC out, a Mamut Storm has coated the car with 4'' arctic ice...

I think I've heard this before but never bothered to research it. Positively diabolical. It has inspired me to bring out and lay among my collection of Third Reich memorabilia and Hieronymous Bosch copies. Exquisite! Thank you DA! I'm glad that you're freezing up there. And I don't mean that in a negative sense at all. Any massive power outages yet? Ah, the clarity of pure evil. The sublime beauty. Somewhere over the rainbow is your worst nightmare. And when, if, you get there, then I want Carl Orff to do the soundtrack.

But seriously, I like this guy's stuff, so far.

Also, I should thank recent (as well as past) contributors for introducing me to wonderful international music that I probably would never have heard if not for this thread.

Still, some music is good, some is fun, and some is just a guilty pleasure.

My favorite Southern Pacific song. Trail of Tears.
