Donny - wow. What can I say? For the guy out front who's always asking people to post their stuff on this forum....that's the very best you can do? Really Donny? Not even sure how to begin to answer your "questions" (or were they intentional insults?). Ok...here goes:

-There was no fake applause. Sorry to disappoint you on that Donny, but there was a crowd of nearly 100 people seated on the lawn behind my wife who filmed the song

-Yep, I used a backing track! A great one at that! Love that arrangement.

-Yes, people were indeed walking by. Sadly, that's the nature of "entertainment" when vacationers are "vacationing"...kids on trampolines, folks getting food, and buying crafts. Yep, that's the gig I was hired to play! And of course I was happy to play the gig. That's how it is here in Florida for entertainers. Just sayin'.

-To your last point, "Nice Find". Wow. Not even sure I understand that comment. Yes, the fuzzy "out of focus" guy holding the saxophone was indeed ME. And the sounds coming from the sax were indeed MINE as well. No "find" employed here. The video can be found on my website.

My only final thought for you, in summing up the total of your "contribution" is that I really do feel sorry for you Donny.

Happy National Sax Day!

Randy no disrespect intended.... Had no idea you recorded it... Sorry if you were offended... The recording gave me that impression maybe cause I listened on my cell phone..
I apologize.

Donny - I'm sorry too. But apology not accepted in this case. You really need to think about who you are and if that's who you REALLY want to be. I used to look up to you and liked you. Sorry Man, those feelings are rapidly slipping away. You are such a negative energy source! WHY?

If you REALLY want people to post things, what makes you immediately go negative? WHY?

Same situation on the SX900. Look, if my neighbor bought a new car and I didn't care for that brand, would I really say "GOOD LUCK"? REALLY? Nope...I would say - "Enjoy that new ride". Why is it that you cannot treat others as you hope they will treat you in return? WHY?

OK man, off soapbox. But to be honest, that song is personal to me. I spent 44.5 years supporting the Air Force (22 years of it on active duty) and my soul went into that recording. Your insults won't ever change the way I felt when I played it then, or when I play it in the future.

Randy... I said my peace. I apologized also.
If that is not enough so be it.
We will talk no longer.

Rikki - do your best to encourage your grandson to give it a fair trial. I assure you if he gives it a chance, he will grow to really enjoy playing the sax!

TASTY!

R.

VERY well done, Randy
Thanks for posting ...

Russ and Tony - thanks guys! I am 10 years older now, but the soul is still red, white and blue! Crazy place to have to showcase one's talent but that is Florida. Thanks for watching/listening and helping celebrate National Sax Day!

In Dinant, Belgium (Adolf Sax's birthplace) they celebrate every year. On the river that runs through the town, they sponsor a "Gathering of 1,000 sax players" - not on my "Bucket List" but it seems like it would be fun. I saw a video of one of the celebrations and it was pretty crazy! I'm sure Adolf was looking down with a smile!

Thanks again!

Incredibly done Randy.

Thanks Sparky! Definitely appreciate it!
