If the one sold in December could play this well, for only $19.99, he would have been a bargain for your band. \ud83d\ude09 \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n<p>To give you a bit of background about Zoot the Root, the video&#8217;s owner has provided us with some details. Here&#8217;s what he writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The call went out for &#8216;The Root&#8217; so we dug out (joke) some early archive footage of Zoot the Root, the dancing flower sax player, filmed at the Chelsea Jazz Festival and Flower Show in the early seventies while he was still heavily into liquid fertiliser and weedkiller. The film is somewhat marred by the over-use of tacky camera effects, but we can still marvel at his genius as he re-interprets Boyter&#8217;s old jazz standard, &#8216;Riffraff&#8217;. The plastic sax is probably a Grafton, although I&#8217;ve never seen one in yellow. Can this flower dance? Strictly come dancing it is not!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"width: 500px; margin: 0px auto; text-align: left; border: 0px solid #25e925; padding: 10px;\">\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 285px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia; font-size: 28px; line-height: 24px; color: #aaff66; text-align: right;\">&#8230;this is just <span style=\"color: #fe4899;\">my <em>blog<\/em>. <\/span><span style=\"color: #66aaff;\"> My <b>\u201creal\u201d <\/b> website is<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bassic-sax.info\">www.bassic-sax.info.<\/a> <span style=\"color: #66aaff;\">If you\u2019re looking for <\/span> <span style=\"color: #fe4899;\"> <strong>sax info<\/strong>,<\/span> you should <span style=\"color: #aaff66;\">check it out too.<\/span><span style=\"color: #fe4899;\">There\u2019s <em>lots<\/em> there! <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember last Christmas when I pointed out&nbsp;a retro, saxophone playing, dancing flower in my annual edition of Online Saxophone Gifts?
