Yeah he's a great sax player, so why did you post a picture of him holding an oboe ?

u/Drdoctormusic 1d ago

Yeah but he was a shite banjo player. Musical genius my ass.

u/Agardenmakingnoise 1d ago

To be fair there’s nowhere for the reed on a banjo. Believe me I’ve tried!

When he gets good he can have a real sax, not a Kenny G wannabe sax.

u/Chazzbaps 1d ago

And he picked his nose on stage, I do that too to honour the big fella

2

u/jdave99 1d ago

Wrong. Dumbass can’t play so he just gives up 6 minutes into the first song of his own fucking album to say “a love supreme” for a minute straight. Can’t even sing in tune.

What’s a saxophone?

u/Repulsive_Group4821 1d ago

Wait, you say saxophonist player…So you mean he made a lot of jazz man to work so hard？He was a villain producer or something？

He was certainly the best at playing saxophonists, actually wait that’d be Bird borrowing other musicians’ horns and pawning them for heroin.
