Sammy “Sugar” Glider, Alto Sax

Yeah, I coulda sold out and banked that sweet Kenny G coin, man, but that’s not my groove, baby. Like, I gotta stay true to my roots, go where my heart tells me.


Like, I bet he can hit those high notes from that curtain rod, Mark and Christal S.

  6. Theresa says:

    PS: Actually, my first thought when I saw Sammy was not that he was playing, but, erm, erm, um, smoking . . . ?

    • Not That Mike The Other Mike says:

      Probably does a bit of that, too, in between sets. ;)

      • HP says:

        Reminds me of an old jazz musician’s joke from the 1940s:

        So, these two cats decide to step outside during the set break and smoke some reefer. They duck into a nearby storefront and light up. Suddenly, a cop car comes tearing down the street, 60 miles an hour, sirens and lights blazing.

        The first musician turns to the second musician and says, “Man, I thought they’d never leave.”

  10. Katy says:

    He’s shiny!

  11. Sar says:

    Can I rub his belly when he’s done??!!!!

  12. Skul says:

    His real name is Bullwinkle.
    Yes, that is a curtain rod. They are that small.
    Yes, Sar, you can rub his tummy if you can catch him.

    • bookmonstercats says:

      Man, I can hear those, sweet, sexy sax vibes all the way to here, but…..

      … what exakkerly IS Bullwinkle doing????

      And with what?????

      • Skul says:

        The little stinker stole my ball-point pin, and was chewing on the end.
        Silly squirrel.

        • Gigi says:

          “ball-point pin” is that the name of the little thingy that sticks out of the pen and goes outside your pocket?

          I’ll be jiggered I didn’t know it had an actual name, I learn something every day! :-)

        • bookmonstercats says:

          Ah, I can see it now.

          *Completely keels over from the Qteness*

  13. Sweet Sammy Sugarglider, swinging some swell sax sounds.

  14. hirish says:

    Bleeding Gums Bullwinkle!

  15. (The Original) Mel says:

    Squerl Jazz. Yeah man.

  16. Rachael says:

    He’s all floofified!

  17. alyssa says:

    he looks so much different than my sugar gliders! so different. so brown! and non-stripey.

  18. Theresa says:

    PLUS, he’s wearing even less than Sergio, the Sexy Sax Man.

  19. BatBlaster says:

    Odd it didn’t load at first. But when it did, it was adorable

  20. Nae says:

    He’s cute as can be, but I’m about 98% sure that he’s a flying squirrel and not a sugar glider!

  21. Ali-baba says:

    I’m kinda hearing the cantina song from Star Wars… ;-)

  22. Miriam says:

    Yes, yes Nae, Bullwinkle is a southern flying squirrel. Shiny, floofified and full of personality they are. We’re a tad short on sugar gliders this season….

  23. missysz says:

    Unfortunately.. as CUTE as this animal is.. it is NOT a sugar glider.. it’s a small squirrel.

    Sugar gliders look much differently :)

  24. Anna says:

    nice flute

  25. dmaufer says:

    I just finished the Knut post, and am now crying and laughing simultaneously. I dig the CO vibe, even when it’s a rollercoaster. That is one hip squirrel!
