[Dixielandjazz] The Earliest Saxophones

[Richard Broadie]

On the other hand, how many musicians do you know who truely blow good
piano?   And what kind of mouth pieces do they use?  Thern there's those who
play by ear that must suffer from considerable head aches!  I usually use
fingers, myself.  Could never figure out if the high notes should be played
by the left ear or the right one.  And things really got messy around middle
"C!"   Don't even want to think about it!

Bob, I really do have too much time on my hands these days.   Sorry!
