  • A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... I interviewed one of my favorite musicians of all time, the king of funk: Maceo Parker. This was in the year 2000, and it was one of my first interviews, I was having a panick attack just before I was so nervous... And then Maceo arrived on stage and I immediately felt better realizing he was as nervous as I was (musicians usually prefer playing onstage rather than doing interviews). I asked if he could play sax at the beginning of the interview and he said no. Then later on, he realized I really dug his music and was interested in his actual playing and technique, he then actually played a few licks to demonstrate what we were talking about... I was soooo thrilled, I'll remember this all my life! That was 21 years ago OMG!!!!!

      @@percyvolnar8010 Actually no. The false fingering on A can be reproduced to some effect on other notes but it's not really possible to get that particular effect on all notes. It's just the harmonic mechanics of the instrument.
