Yeah, that’s a good point sxpoet, and exactly what I’m doing. At least that way I get to see, check, and play the horn. Johnny’s keeping an ear open for me….thanks JF !! It means the 20% tax, and is only a maybe. Coming from Johnny, I know I’d have no issues with the tenor. All good my friend. I’m glad you didn’t quit the sax. Watercolour aside, how’s the playing man ??

Finally, just downloaded ” pick up the pieces “. A little confusing, I expected a complete blank BT. Obviously there is one with solo, another where the horns are there but low in the mix….that right Johnny ??? Thanks , jak

That’s not the best run of luck mate, but look under job description of musician…..a tough ride !! Your good Lady, and the little ones were right and let’s face it;….if you sounded awful, they’d be begging you to quit lol !! My Pop was an artist. Attended the Royal Academy, 1950 \ 6. I have shelves of books he illustrated over the years. Shame I’m not a ” jazz buff “….some of his albums including the Massey Hall concert are probably worth a fortune. That’s the album where Bird was name checked as ” Charlie Chan “. I intended to get in s last half hour of overtones, but I’m good to go. Touch wood, the tenor is sorted. Never thought I’d go for a Yamaha. A 52. Retails at roughly 1600 ( pounds );….950 at six months old and unused. When things pick up, I’ll be back into my curious fifties tenors, but for now I need a solid workhorse. Where are you man ? ( if you’d rather not say, that’s cool )…just you mentioned socializing. You are very welcome to visit Liverpool any time. Stay over, and we can iron out any problems your having, if any.
Thanks for the links man. I WAS having an uphill struggle, but thankfully things are very much on the up, apart from being asked to play ” At Last ” at a wedding. Barf….lol !! Anyhow, gotta change, gotta fly. Take it easy….best….jak

I mentioned this in another post. He’s a great player sxpoet….keep at it amigo !!
