Cherry Tree Saga Continues 16+ (Foul Language)

Posted on February 18, 2022 by Chris Fagan • Leave a comment

Well, I won’t give away the ending of the video….but this is the test drive of the first mouthpiece that I made myself, start to finish, from the chopped down cherry tree in my backyard. Continue reading →

Cherry Tree in Yard Now Sax Mouthpiece for Real (kinda plays OK too)

OK folks, I actually have something that plays….kinda of. Kind of surprisingly well actually. I needed to call in help from Brad W. (pictured below) who is, what you would call, a genius with all things relating to woodwinds. I did the work on the outside and bore and Brad worked on the baffle and … Continue reading →

Getting closer but not what you’d call close. Stay tuned though, I’m dialing in some local expertise for some help with the process. Continue reading →

“Good Morning Heartache” quarantine edition

Hey folks, Bored again. Covid bored. Fuck. Here is take 1 of GMH. Great tune. Problem for me is I heard the Joe Henderson version of this when I was 20 and I can’t get the Joe-isms out of my head when I play it ever since. It’s an amazing cut but I think it … Continue reading →

Cherry Tree in Yard Now Tenor Sax Mouthpiece…

…not quite yet, but I’m working on it. At the moment I’m getting the right tools together and practicing on some crappy wood before I use the good stuff. If you didn’t read about the exciting lead up to this project, see the transformation of the cherry tree from my backyard to its present incarnation … Continue reading →

Hello folks, Thank you for your overwhelming response to my request to boost my recordings with the major online services last week. Incredibly, the algorithm is even MORE aware that I exist and is serving up my tunes to humans far and wide. My numbers are popping and the royalties are rolling in. To express … Continue reading →

Could you do me a favor…..

Posted on October 23, 2021 by Chris Fagan • 4 Comments

Hey folks, Strange thing happened the other day. I got a royalty check. Yeah I know. Incredible. As it turns out, all the $.000000002’s that the streaming services give you eventually add up to a two figure dollar amount that they finally send you. In this case, I got a boost on Spotify because I … Continue reading →

Night and Day with Feline Interruption

Hey folks, I stuck with clarinet last week and practiced some transcribed Chet Baker solos that sit really awkwardly across the break. Anyway, here’s what I came up with today. The video lapses and you can’t see it, but I was interrupted and had to stop to keep the kitten from attacking the mic (see … Continue reading →

Reunion with Clarinet (after literally decades)

Posted on August 25, 2021 by Chris Fagan • Leave a comment

Hello again folks, I pulled out the clarinet and made this thing. I think since I switched to tenor from alto, my embouchure got a little more flexible so it didn’t go too badly. I had literally given up on this axe because there are so many great doublers in Seattle, I couldn’t use it … Continue reading →
