Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for June 03, 2024

Catchy!

Otherwise known as jazz. I will now take this well known, popular song and render it unrecognisable.

She ought to know. she composed it.

She learned how to play that thing from Bill Clinton.

I wasn’t sure at first, but I can tell by the key that that’s a tenor saxophone – because she be flat.

Walt Disney directed an Oscar-winning short called “Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom”.

Can’t argue with that …

“I play it perfectly! I can’t understand why no one asks for it when I take my sax to a party.”

Gaylord ponders, “Should I tell her why no one wants to hear it? Would she zap me?”

“One time at band camp…”

Charlie Parker played that in 1923.

At least Myers shows the mouthpiece with a ligature on it; unlike in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”, where Meat Loaf plays a saxophone without a reed.

I remember the small saxophone Russell gave me decades ago.

“Now, I will play ‘HEENK! BLATTT! HEENK! BLATTT!’”

“NOOOOooooₒₒₒₒ….”

The Bacharach version.

Wait!! Let me turn off my hearing aids!

“Toot toot! Beep beep!”

I recognize that, that’s the horn song.

Probably she’s the author.

The buzzard should be thankful Broomie doesn’t play the bagpipes.
