    I dreamed of one day being allowed to play the triangle at school. I was only given the Claves (which, to be honest, isn't an instrument at all, it's just two sticks).

    If we'd had sticks in music class when I was at school, I'd have been banned from them as well... :sigh:

      "Who?" you say? The Saxophonist on Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street"[^], and you remember that allright! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-29700432[^] If I could play an musical instrument - which I can't, I was banned from playing the triangle at school - the sax is the one I would have loved to play...

              That sax line was the first "other instrument" solo I learned to play on the guitar. It had a huge impact on my playing style. I will hoist a drink in his honour.

                Once they did. And once was enough times for them to realize that was a bad idea.

                    Hey, cheers Fredrik - I didn't know they were called claves, but I am after a pair. This knowledge will stop me having to go into Dawson's & ask for a pair of sticks to bang together! Regards, Stewart

                            Knowledge is power! In this case, the power of not having to ask for sticks to bang together, and isn't that the sort of power we all seek?

                              My grand father played the sax and clarinet and I can remember as a young boy listening to him practice for a gig. He played in a lot of big bands of the era, 30s-50s.

                              New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 Beta There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription. I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

                                Racing to be childish - sounds like geezers to me ... and, damn, you beat me to it (but Griff has a 5 hour advantage on me).

                                Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
