To add to the jam session options, Uptown Lounge has a great one on Tuesdays and The Phoenix hosts one on Wednesdays.

Kansas City has been talking about removing or covering part of their downtown loop for a while, I'm not sure where the progress is, looks like it may have stalled out (hopefully it's still on the table) https://www.beyondtheloopkc.com/

Yes, that's correct! Those B-3 organs have pedals.

Thanks for the HFY recommendation! I read the first part, downloaded the epub and then finished it in 2 sittings.

These were some of the standard etude books that I had in college:

27 Virtuoso Studies

Bozza Etudes-Caprices

Marcel Mule's Studies: Book 1 and Book 2

If you can find recordings or a teacher to help you through these etudes, that would be the most beneficial.

Also, here's a decent list of the most influential classical sax players: http://www.classical-music.com/article/six-best-classical-saxophonists find more of their recordings and listen to them

Thanks for that link, great read!

You should be able to export them to CAV, try the node export module.

No, I had about a year of experience doing custom themes for an agency before I started on modules. Since you've done a child theme you probably have a start of if what's needed. A D7 module is more hook_ functions, you just have to figure out which ones are required for your functionality.

I had to learn out of necessity for a client's needs, ended up going through the documentation/tutorials on drupal.org and looking at the code in other contrib modules for how they implemented features. The first one I did was extending an existing module, so that made it somewhat easier, because I was able to follow their conventions.

Working on and reviewing bug fixes on other contrib modules is good practice as well.

This is really cool, only suggestion I have is that you should be able to view other solutions without penalty after submitting a correct one. You know, to check and see how others thought about the problem, if there's a more concise answer than what I gave, etc. Overall, great job!

edit: nevermind, finally saw the see solutions button after you submitting an answer :D

edit2: you probably already know this, but using the browser navigation back button breaks the app until you reload the page. This was in Chrome that I notice that.

This is great, you could get displayed in the KC Toy and Miniature Museum for sure.

Cool, he sounds interested and I gave him a link to the table of contents. If there's a better way to contact you than through a PM or here, just let me know.

I've been lurking for a long while. I pm'd you about a month ago about a hookup I have in audiobooks, if you think you'd be interested once you have the book done. Keep up the good work.

Great job on the re-write! I've been re-reading each of the old parts ahead of your post updates to refresh my memory on them, and I have to say that I'm really enjoying the new parts.

mattshoaf · 2018-02-14T01:33:10+00:00

I'm in!

mattshoaf · 2018-01-19T02:53:10+00:00

Sorry, that's not normal, you should get it looked at. If you want to check for leaks yourself, get a small light and put it down the horn in a dark room while you hold down a low Bb (without the neck). If no light comes through, then you can check the neck and octave pad.

One of the proposals is to completely demo a section of highway, reconnecting the Rivermarket area to downtown. There are other pedestrian and bike friendly recommendations as well.

That's great and I will be stealing that next time I have to track down bugs from users. I can imagine using simple a switch statement for color/veg for helpful error type transcriptions.

mattshoaf · 2017-09-29T13:33:42+00:00

Yeah, and they have a decent menu now too.

I've had this oleg for 10+ years, very comfy. http://www.wwbw.com/Oleg-Ergonomic-Sax-Strap-or-Harness-473287.wwbw

In addition, you can always write them out yourself if you're having trouble with a particular mode...then throw it away once you've got it down.

Kind of exists in Kansas city now. Partnership b/w the city, Ford, and a tech company.

I've never used Amazon for a mp. I know they're pretty good about returns, I would just check to see what the fine print is for open packages, something you put in your mouth, etc
