Every now and then you come across people in your life that can really put things in perspective. Someone who has faced and overcome events in their life that make you realize what you have and what is truly important. On Wednesday we got a chance to play with a true musician and a great soul. We met Mr. Saxophone at our ME! Live premiere where he was recording a Christmas special. We quickly learned that he wasn’t just another musician trying to make it here in Austin. He’d already had a lifetime of experiences and an impressive resume including playing at Live Aid, assisting Bruce Springsteen and the E street Band, BB King and even the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But recently he lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. He was forced to find work in Austin and was blessed with another saxophone from ME! Television. From the minute we met him we knew he was not only an amazing musician but a great spirit. We told him that we’d be honored if he played with us at Lucky Lounge in the following weeks. So, on a very special Wednesday night Mr. Saxophone taught us a thing or two about perseverance, musicianship and playing from your soul. We had a blast letting Mr. Saxophone display over 30 years of experience and dedication to his craft in front of the fans of Lucky Lounge. We felt honored to be able to give something back to someone who had lost so much. We were also very lucky to have our friend Candy on stage for several songs to belt out some soulful background vocals – she is amazing!! Special thanks to Candy and Mr. Saxophone for making this a magical musical adventure!!
