Over Christmas, I got talking to a very upper class lady (as one does)
She told me that she had been in London, and very much enjoyed
a visit to Covent Garden (opera house not market)

We got talking about music. I mentioned playing the saxophone.
She said "Oh what fun, and jolly easy too I suppose. You just
blow and wiggle your fingers"

I was out on a gig with a xylophone player. "It must be wonderful to
have your gift!" I looked at Syd. He looked at me. "Yes! I
remember it well - last Tuesday it quite suddenly came upon me that I
could play this thing. When was it for you?"

But sax? Yeah, blow and wiggle just about covers it.

If only:-)
