Stupid Saxophone Players
So, I'm going to tell a story.
Sax Player Guy comes in and says, "hey! Fix my horn, replace some pads, do what you gotta do!" I say, "okay." I fix it. I replace some pads. I did what I had to do. He comes to pick up his sax, and says, "gee, this plays well! Wait... did you REPLACE SOME PADS? Those were the original Mark VI pads! You THREW the old ones AWAY?" and then we preceded to look through the trashcan to search for the old pads, which, had already been replaced at one point and were no longer the original pads ANYWAY. Guy says, "those were METAL resonators! I need the metal ones, ESPECAILLY on these particular keys!" I ask, "so you really notice a difference while you're playing then, right?" He tells me no. WTF??!?!?!!? AND, on TOP OF THAT, I contacted THREE sax specialists who all tell me that the pads that he had on his horn, WERE NOT THE ORIGINAL PADS. AND, he doesn't EVEN NOTICE A DIFFERENCE WITH THE PADS!! WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?!?!?!?
fucking sax player guy.
BOO on him.
Later this evening: Off to the "tobacco pipe store" to purchase a few neccessities.
EVEN later this evening: Spoken word at Andyman's Treehouse... just hope that I don't shoot myself in the face.
