That's a lovely song Paddyann.
There's something about the saxophone that seems to get into your emotions. Especially Sydney Bechet.
Not that I can play it. My only experience of actually playing was on piano for a few years.

I’ve posted this before, a different rendition of a Vivaldi favourite. Never fails to put a smile on my face ?

@ Granny darkhair that's one of the reasons I like Wynton Marsalis. My first, and favourite of his Cornet Chop Suey. Which always gets me going.

Fennel that was enjoyable, thank you.

I found this one when looking for sax solos on YouTube, but it’s the energy of this lot that I love. It’s especially great how that phlegmatic drumming just holds them all together.

We were there last night Pantglas2, it was fantastic! Tom hasn’t lost an ounce of his voice, Delilah raised the roof.

They are, the whole set was really sharp, it was a great atmosphere with the whole crowd joining in, Wales at its best.

I am watching Stereophonics on TV - Cardiff live concert too.
It has been awesome!

My neighbour plays the local radio station in his garden which I hate so I like to iron to very loud Wagner in the kitchen with the door open to the outside. There is nothing as good as a blast of Tannhauser tpo keep the iron going .

There aren't many albums that don’t have a single duff track but Blue Aeroplanes ‘ Beatsongs’ is the perfect album.
