- Strong Soprano Sax Solo
Kirk, I have to say I enjoyed your work up of Fast As You Can. And when you played a soprano sax solo over the outro it was transcendent! You gave me goosebumps in the beginning which moved over to chills and then at the end I was having the full body shivers! Well done!!! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

After listening to each episode, I feel the urge to create a three-hour playlist for my friends and then explaining to them why I chose each song.

Thank you for creating such a joyful exploration of all that is beautiful in music. I needed this right now!
Your “Dark Side of the Moon” episode inspired me to learn the album and explore the harmonies and melodies behind one of the greatest albums of all time. The Bm-F move in “Great Gig in the Sky” is a Lydian feel! OMG, I love your work.
Again, thank you. This is an amazing show.
