Not really. It's too short, no frets, unplayable fingerboard radius... It's a mess.

Every time I see a new post in this thread I'm thinking it may be another Shishkov reveal. Not quite as interested in rolling pins. You guys need to quit getting me excited ArnieZ

It does have that baseball bat thing going on, though.

Hey speaking about cooking~ check out my rolling pin... Wouldn't this make an awesome neck?

Ben Webster: See You at the Fair Ben Webster is definitely on the short list of the early wave of tenor sax legends along with Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins. Webster and Young were born in 1909; Hawkins in 1904. By contrast, Coltrane and Stan Getz were born in 1926 and 1927, respectively. The album has a sort of thematic tie-in with the New York World's Fair of 1964-5, 52 years ago. I'm old enough to remember that fair well, and witnessed picture-phone hookups from Disneyland to the Fair (and back) that summer of '64. Anyway, there are some interesting side men on the album, particularly Hank Jones and Roger Kellaway alternating on keys. Kellaway became better known for writing the music for "All in the Family" and other TV and film soundtracks. He was only 24 on this album, a full 30 years younger than Webster. Anyway, it's a really nice listen, especially for the 99 cents I paid for a pristine copy in a bargain bin. The best thing is the time machine element--hearing analog reproductions of music geniuses born over 100 years ago as though they're in your living room, because that's what those '60s-era Impulse records do.
