Well...I have some reasons to
make this site. Being so long a die-hard Dire Straits' and Mark
Knopfler's
fan, I like so much Chris White's saxophone playing. When I heard his
solo in Romeo And Juliet ( it is a great Dire Straits' song - one of my
favourites ), I fell in love with the sax music. Then I started to
listen
the saxophone in different way...with more passion and love. The other
sax players I like are David Sanborn, Andy Sheppard, Jan
Garbarek, Cannonball Adderley etc. But Chris will be my number
one forever, because he took me to this wonderful passion. When I
connected to the Internet to search some information about my fav. band
and musicians, I was so wondered to find very wrong and contrary information
about Chris. In one Roxy Music's fan site I read that he is from New
Zealand...from other site I "knew" he is from New York...etc. etc.
funny
things. A reason about this big "mess" is the fact there are so many
musicians called with this name...2-3 of them are sax players. I hope
to help the people with the right information doing this site.
Later I found another saxophone
and guitar fan who likes all my fav. musicians and we started to share
each other our music,opinions, CD's, information and all connected to
the good saxophone and guitar music too. So, we both decided to make
this pleasant job around the fan site. A very big "thank
you" to Guitars & More about your friendship and for giving a space
for this site during the first 3 months...
I
spent two years to search / collect all this stuff and
I will be happy if somebody can share some new information with
us. P.S. I come from a country with a different language and
alphabet too....so, please, be indulgent about my English...
