There, Marek, we will have to remain in disagreement.  After all, both of
our opinions are just that...personal opinions.

Perhaps you never heard Al Hirt's "Pier (is it?) 56" album with Pete
Fountain & Bob Havens.  The music on that album is far from boring.  

I love their fun version of the Saints where each of the wind instruments
takes a note.  Not easy to do, as the 4 notes do not divide up evenly
between the 3 instruments, so you get a different note at each pass!
Probably more fun for the player than the listener!
