Hear's A Song: Saxobone



Saxobone : Ooh Ahh



Saxobone,is a new jam that features Whitehouse on vocals and sax, with Mike on back up vox. We're really trying to grow up these days--writings songs that you can look straight in the eye and so forth. But old habits are tough to fight, and we can't yet resist the urge to abuse a sax, especially since Whitehouse wails. Oddly enough, Whitehouse and his sax have a history of showing up at the most opportune times. Speaking of which, that reminds me of a picture (the one above), about which to you I will describe...

Back in 2002, I gots my senior pictures taken in downtown Farmington at Focal Point. I was there with my tuba. By some cosmic coincidence, Drew was there with his saxophone. While it is common for seniors to bring in their band instruments to Focal Point on picture day, apparently, few seniors actually think to play them. Furthermore, few seniors think to have some kind of dual band instrument photo shoot.* We did both of these things. The staff at Focal Point seemed delighted when we played a tune from Monty Python, though I suspect they would have been less pleased had they known the corresponding lyrics to the song.

*Few seniors think to do get photographed doing this:

For the record, it wasn't my idea.

Note From The Editor: We've noticed that some of our hits are based on unrelated google searches. And now to attract more google search hits, lets drop the words like"Bill Clinton" and "Saxophone" several times. This is shameless, but we hope that anyone googling those terms will arrive here. Bill Clinton. Saxophone. Clinton. Sax. Bill Clinton Saxophone. Sax. Clinton. Clinton. Playing Sax. President. 1992. Picture. Senior. Senior Pictures. Bush Senior Bill Clinton Sax Solo. Euphonium.
