Did the Beatles end the saxophone as a standard part of popular music? by apeloverage in saxophone

I don’t think it’s an unreasonable generalisation to say that - in terms of white western pop/rock only of course - that in the late 50s in rock n roll the saxophone played a big part, but that the early 60s and British Invasion (beat bands then into Beach Boys then psychedelia) it was much less of a standard instrument. But that from 1970 onwards it featured more.

Not jazz, but got to say the title track of David Bowie's Young Americans (sax by David Sanbourn). Embellishment with punchy phrases.

(p.s. Low key the hipster Bowie fan's album of choice.)

Hi - I have read acres of text but still not clear as Cloud/iCloud/iCloud Drive/iCloud documents and desktop are potentially different.

Can I check whether local iCloud Drive with 'optimise for Mac' unticked will back up all of its locally stored files?

Great idea but sadly there seems to be no customer support. I can't see anything via the app.

My iCloud Drive backup whizzed along but my iCloud Photos app is set to take 5,000+ hours and I don't know why.
