I remember it well...
My older sister was huge into Motown at the time, so that’s what was on in the house - along with the Big Band era stuff from my parents.
I picked up the bass, and then the guitar at 12, and have been playing ever since. Play keyboards too, but I sold all my keyboard gear years ago.
I still have this idea that I’ll get around to playing sax one day... We’ll see.
Try it. Try recording a song using your sax riff. Either in the intro, or chorus or the bridge or the coda. We at Free Rep. would like to hear it. At least I would. I never did learn guitar past the ‘Every-Good-Boy-Deserves-A-Favor finger placements on an old acoustic from Sears. It was still fun.
