Hello All
I am Paul Ferrario, Johnny’s Italian cousin đ . I have played alto sax since the 5th grade, starting in 1968, so 46 years. Well, that is if we don’t count the 32 years that my horn sat in its case in the closet collecting dust. I played through elementary school, HS (marching and jazz bands), and some in college. I had planned on becoming a music teacher, but those who remember the late 70s also remember the crappy economy. Practicality and my dad’s advice prevailed and I followed a different path.
Fast-forward to 2014. I had my Bundy restored (I am sentimental), and to my great surprise, I can still play…not great, but not too embarrassingly awful either. My biggest issue will be in building my breath control. I am having a blast though, and I am excited to be here with all of you beginners and recidivists!
My piano teacher while growing up in the Bay Area was also a Mr. Ferreira, so finding this site I am sure bodes well for my success.
