What is the Best Saxophone Song?

[BWV]

not everyone's cup of tea, but a masterpiece from America's greatest living composer. EC turns 103 this December and is still writing new music

I've heard this song a few times over the last couple of years. Didn't know there was a video. Didn't know that the singer was 14 days younger than me. Didn't know he died 14 years ago. Didn't know he was from Hawaii.

Have I mentioned that Hawaii is a magical place?

At over 750# peak weight, it's surprising he didn't die earlier. Sad, because he was apparently very talented.

Great story on how that song was done.

For me, best songs at the moment are these.

Symphonia - Don't Let Me Go

Nice one! I remember I heard it a long time ago while driving up to the Metolius River for a hike. Amazing that that memory came back to me .

One of the best songs ever. It always lifts my spirits when this song rolls up in my CD carousel's rotation. Like a skier jumping into a steep mogul-field, I have always been willing to change on a dime (professionally). Luckily, I have a wife that has always trusted me and supported my choices. We have done quite well. I regret the times that we were apart, but at least the separations were physical and not emotional.

BTW, Allison Krause and Dan Tyminski (the big rhythm guitarist) have two of the most perfect blended voices in the industry. My sister and I could pull that off, too, but she was generally busy Fri-Sat nights, and I was generally busy on Sat-Sun afternoons, pulling people into taverns when the nutzo-weekend crowds were sleeping. Whenever she had a free weekend, she'd show up at one or two of my gigs and sing with me. It was so nice to have another singer who would blend so wonderfully, and not try to be the next American Idol.

How about this classic, my fellow science nerds:

 

[BadBrain]

How about Mudhoney's "No One Has":



(It's still pretty nerdy, in its own way!)

 

[BadBrain]

For all you science fiction fans out there (one of which I'm NOT, as science itself is so much better than any fiction could possibly be!), here's yet another nerdy classic:

How about Mudhonet's "No One Has":



(It's still pretty nerdy, in its own way!)

No way am i clicking on that. micromass has turned you to the darkside, I know it!

Someone click on that and see if it's safe.

EVO:

Micromass had nothing to do with my love of Mudhoney, seeing as I first signed onto this site a few days ago, and I just so happen to have the Sub-Pop Video Network Program II, which I bought well over ten years ago. (It has Mudhoney's "One More Time" as well as the Monkeywrench's "Bottle Up and Go".)

Hmmmm!

It's safe. It's not a rick-roll. It is Mudhoney.

Tried to delete!

micromass has given me a rick roll phobia.

Amazing song !

 

[BadBrain]

Actually, I managed to get the name of the Modhoney song on the Sub Pop Video Network Program II wrong. Iy's actually called: "Good Enough". and here 'tis:
