This is Attilio Berni playing a sub-contra-bass saxophone. It is the largest of its kind in the world. Attilio loves saxophones so much his personal collection became the worlds largest saxophone museum in the world in Italy in 2019ish, just before Covid. He is insanely good on all saxophones and is insanely crazy about them. So if you significant other gives you grief about your collection, tell them you are pursuing a museum.
FYI - its hard to see Attilio behind the sax, ya, its that big.

And I thought hauling a cello to a gig was awkward.

The subject came up in work of ‘songs that are covers but are better than the original artist’.
Lots of discussion. My own favourite is The Lemonheads cover of The Outdoor Type (fab song about lying to get the girl) originally done by an Aussie band called Smudge.
Then someone mentioned Mike Masse’s cover of Toto; that’s arguably better than Toto. Side note - Mike and the bassist are part time musicians who are full time lawyers.
Best pizza shop band ever.

It turns out, there’s lots.

Audio Assault needs to work on their messaging.
Sorry dudes, that fell flat, and didn’t enthuse me to go blow $100 to get an otherwise normal sale price on your stuff.
(A good plugin sale is more like 75%-90% off.)

Not bass , but it is music related, and it is fun; therefore music related fun.
This is my birthday song to my dear Sara. Last year I did it on the Ibanez fretless and the upright electric (Happy Birthday to my Sara)
This year, it’s on the keyboard.
It’s been 60 years since I played piano, and even then I was never very good. Take it for what it’s worth.
Enjoy it (or not).
Played on the M-Audio Oxygen49 MKV
LaBella flat wound strings
Sara's birthday 2021 - YouTube
Apologies for the poor audio. I used the audio from the camera, and should have cross recorded in Reaper. My bad…
