A little green grasshopper, no idea what kinds of saxophones there are out there, but it was a cartoon and there were little notes around his head, so I didn’t hear any music.

It’s a small, long beetle, playing a tenor sax, playing a chill freeform jazz solo that would fit the intro narration of a noir film. He might be wearing a hat.

I have no idea if that's even a saxaphone part. But it always sounded like it, and it's my imagination... so....

mugglebuddy.bsky.social•124 days ago

It was a non descript bug, something between a rollie polie and a cockroach, dark with many legs, but bipedal, holding a generic marge Simpson style sax. It's all fuzzy. But it felt like Joe's apartment for a second.

mugglebuddy.bsky.social•124 days ago

No sound was coming from my imagination though.

tea-n-vines.bsky.social•124 days ago

I went with Praying Mantis, probably a standard tenor saxophone (I think. Instrument terminology is not my forte.), and it's learning to play.

bobbynealmusic.bsky.social•124 days ago

A 6 ft tall Praying Mantis, a Yamaha YBS-62 baritone sax, and he’s on stage with the Tower Of Power horns playing So Very Hard To Go. Doc Kupka took the night off. The bug is playing pretty well, but he doesn’t really have the choreography down.

biffthetick.bsky.social•124 days ago

Bug’s mistake was bringing its usual Eugene Rousseau hard rubber jazz mouthpiece and Vandoren 3s instead of a metal Berg Larsen and Rico Plasticover 1.5s

bobbynealmusic.bsky.social•124 days ago

Oh, man…so true! Trying to get through a jazz/funk/soul gig on a classical mouthpiece is enough to drive a bug crazy!

biffthetick.bsky.social•124 days ago

Mandible has to present some major embouchure challenges, in fairness

bobbynealmusic.bsky.social•124 days ago

Well, yeah, that and not having lungs. But there’s just no excuse for not knowing the choreography.

biffthetick.bsky.social•124 days ago

Should have worn the suspenders
