@snowdude1080 Just chill and lay back! Lighten up on the tongue and loosen up on the mouthpiece. Develop your own embouchure...the one you learn in school is just a basic guideline. There are no rules to how you position your mouth. Also play around with differerent reeds. Maybe you need to go thicker.

@Drummykins youre saying all this, and its coming from your own perspective. youre not taking into account the entire culture of the time period. why do you think a lot of popular jazz artists became broke heroin addicts? being a jazz artist, especially a black one in that time period, didnt make you much money. soul doesnt have a color, but the radio station hosts of the time seemed to believe so.

@theoriginalbadbob Nice story, really. It always pleases me to be surprised by someone we "know" when they show us a different side.  It's a reminder that there's always more than we might imagine.

@leaveittoprez Brookmeyer just died yesterday, I can't stop shrieking in grief...

[Drummykins]

@nemo227 yeah, and most cats I knew kept wearing them for decades...one I knew got his ancient frrayed skinny tie actually cut off by other guy in the band about 1967!

[Drummykins]

@marilou7itgr I did, and it was, and it's never left me! Hear them while you can!

[Drummykins]

@bongloadz4satan Thanks! Roland Kirk did it, I learned it decades ago, forgot the technique...I'll be woodshedding that! Bless you and yours!

@m3atwadsh0mb0i What? Back when? I knew those people like family, in my home as a child in Kansas City,and, if you must know, I happen to be a white chick! As Ben Webster said, "S**t, baby, soul don't have no color" Not know what good music was? I've heard and played more good and great music, luckiest chick in the Universe, and oh, yeah, still nailing it harder than ever! What color is the sky in your world? Grab that spacxeship home! Some folks here want dig the sounds!
