BJ: Exactly! Then two years later there were so many clarinets in the band that the teacher wanted a saxophone player. I guess I was the best clarinet player in the school and he had a saxophone so he gave it to me and forced me to switch.
BJ: As soon as I picked up the sax I felt connected to it, I just really enjoyed playing it. It was my favourite hobby right from the very beginning. I started on the saxophone when I was ten years old and I think for me it was a revelation. I had been learning clarinet and the repertoire for practising was very much classical at that time. With the saxophone it opened it up to more of a pop music concept.
I loved to listen to RnB music and popular music at the time and I was able to find sheet music for some of the songs on the radio, and to play those on the saxophone. And that was really where it started for me.
From an early age I really loved more groove orientated, RnB flavoured music. When I was 13 or 14 I heard Grover Washington Jnr for the first time and that was when I got inspired to throw myself more deeply into playing saxophone. I loved that combination of Jazz and RnB that was pretty fertile there in the mid seventies.
BJ: I never wrote things down. I have terrible penmanship in general! So I would just try and memorise solos. I bought a tenor and soprano and started trying to play all three horns, that was something that was a big influence from Grover because he was so versatile on all three horns.
BJ: For a long time I worked as a sideman , backing singers and stuff like that. For seven years I earned my living in that way, working for people like the Isley Brothers, and Maurice Day, and Bobby Caldwell, and on the side I was trying to write songs to get a publishing deal.
I was fortunate in having spent all that time as a sideman where I was able to watch all those people I admired on stage. I could see them from behind the scenes, and see what was working. I definitely want to involve the audience and put on a show and keep them coming back!
I have learned more in the last month working with you than I have for the past two years on my own! Many kudos to you for the sax lessons and especially the pace of each lesson segment. Perfect for me!

Copies of these folk songs could be found in broadsides, a sheet of cheap paper printed on one side with music, rhymes or news. Broadsides could be sold for as little as one penny, making them popular amongst the poorer classes of British society. Before an age of television or radio, singing and playing songs were a widespread form of entertainment. Ballads that mocked the French or Napoleon were especially common during the Napoleonic Wars.
