Commenter Memories Number 25


You know before Theo played the flute he was in a rock band. But it didn't work out. Nobody was interested in Beethoven goes Electric.

He is a man ahead of his time.

Having your shirt partially untucked was considered "edgy" back then!

Must have been his early California surfer youth days. I sure wish he'd drop by and regale us all but I'm afraid his free time is taken up surfing the web for dirt on Althouse and posting it on his blog.

As a music major, I played in all kinds of ensembles, but I did play sax in my roommate's white-boy blues band, "The Soul Purpose." (Never touched a guitar. Everybody plays guitar. But if you play sax even halfway well, you've got something very few others do. The hottest girls always end up with the keyboard guy or the sax player.)

Basically, it was me and my Mark VI alto and Conn tenor (a little inside-sax talk there) doing our best Paul Desmond meets funkadelic impressions. It wasn't pretty, but it did the job. I'm not saying exactly what that job was.)

I always get a little happy to this very day when I hear the blues, especially if they're in Bb and are really, really bad.
