[Dixielandjazz] Re: the Earliest Saxophones

Dick,

For those who play by ear, the banging eventually wears down the tympanic
membrane, thus making it easier to play without the noise of the band.
As for which ear goes for which side of the piano, it really doesn't matter.
It will sound the same.  What I would suggest is do what LOOKS better- the
more you move, the more it looks like you know what you're doing.  At least
that's what Jerry Lee Lewis did, which is why he sounds better live than on
a recording.
