It's not KennyG it's about the most famous sax solo*. George Michael : Careless whispers. . And yes Sax is a woodwind instrument due to the wooden reed rather than brass mouth piece.

Other conteneers would be , Gerry Rafferty - baker street, Lily was here - Candy Dulfer / Dave Stewart, EPIC SAX GUY SOLO - Moldova -Eurovision Song Contest, or Yacketty sax benny hill!

Thats Reed Timmer. He was one of the 'stars' of the Discovery show, Storm Chasers. He does a LOT of tornado research using doppler, probes, uav's, etc. He has a Ph.D. in meteorology. Very interesting guy and has done a lot for progressing storm safety and early warning systems.

works like an Oboe or any other double reed instrument.

here is how to make one, but you need a lot of practice to play as beautifully as the artist did...

Yup, same here. He made it sound like they were the only group that did anything worth anything back then. They would've never gotten anywhere without Warhol using his fame and promoting them extensively and were just stupidly artsy fartsy and pretentious; the mega-hipsters of the day.

I think why he disliked Beatles was that their debut album was released at the same time as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.. Warhol got them record contract in the first place and the album bombed (allthou has some legendary songs, no doubt) but without him no one would've heard about them since of before.

Also Reed has probably the worst "rock" album on his merit: Metal Machine Music.. Some idiots take that album seriously It's just two guitars leaning against amplifiers...

One of my new favorite bands. Sound like The Fall, Lou Reed, Velvet Underground, Pavement, and a few others mixed together.

One day i'll reed all this text.

This is awesome. I've been snorkeling many times, with much enjoyment, but always thought that I was basically using the equivalent of a bamboo reed and some swimming goggles. I've never understood why this area has had virtually no innovation when the problem seems simple.

At the beginning of the video I assumed it would be prohibitively expensive but for around $54 'merican I will likely invest in one.

Those reeds.. those electric reeds.. I still remember them.

This isn't an exercise in engineering so much as marketing.

The pneumatic motor is limited by the extreme lack of energy stored in compressed air. All inneficiencies in translating that stored energy into motion are failures in the system. The goal is to carefully remove all unnecessary sources of energy loss from the motor.

So there's an interesting engineering challenge in making this work 'at all' using Legos. There are design compromises that must be made, given the restrictions on form imposed by available parts; as well as the stress limitations of the material. It's like someone giving you a pile of reeds and asking you to build a Manhattan 5-Story Walkup. Can it be done? Is there enough stress resistance in the material for something of that scale? A fun challenge with no practical implications. Manhattan low-rises have been built before, you're not innovating architecture and you're definitely not contributing anything to the future of construction.

The question is, does it require a "technology genius" to accomplish? Someone tell me what a "technology genius" is first. Whatever it is...I suspect you don't need one on your team in order to search the internet for pneumatic piston motor schematics and copy/paste a parallel series of 256.

This exercise is inspiring and fun...until you add the marketing entrepreneur, casting hyperbole around and spending other people's money. It is unsettling to think that the new generation of capitalists are chasing the specter of Elon Musk; self promoting egotists who create nothing and take credit for everything. As a longtime member of the internet in good standing, I reject every stealth intrusion of marketing and entrepreneurship into my sandbox.

Hooray for Raul Oaida, engineering buff and hobbyist. Down with Steve Sammartino, marketer, entrepreneur, "brainchild" originator, keeper of secrete locations, crowd funder, project contact and fathead.

All Tomorrow's Parties was a favorite tune for me. I'll miss all of that talent and most of all, his amazing VOICE!

RIP Lou Reed

This one's for you and Lou Reed sister now, go find Phil Hartman and slap that ass for us!
