We are but ants to the band, U2…
No band touches my ears the way U2 does. I’ve only seen them in concert once, but it was my all-time favorite show. Their music is just built to soar! With Bono’s vocals, The Edge’s signature guitar-work, Adam Clayton’s bass and Larry Mullen, Jr’s consistant drumming, U2 has [...]

Recently I blogged about my favorite piano songs. Which, in turn, got me thinking about my all-time favorite instrument…the saxophone!
