Hey Jan, NOt much action sometimes here, but once in a while someone responds. Sounds like a fine time in the hot lands there. I am in Chattanooga, and have found this site and cybersax.com to be really loaded with information. So, tune your old computer to cybersax.com and start reading. There is a gold mine there. BTW, I am 53 and a one year sax student, playing a Selmer 1244 student horn. I work full time as engineer and pilot, but love to learn to play. Looks like I am moving to California in a bit, either Oroville or Jackson. I lived in LA for five years once. Wild. Desert is better. Enjoy your gigs, I am looking to upgrade my horn to either a B400 Top Hat and Cane, or a Yamaha YTS 875. We'll see. Talk to you later. Larry PEterson Chattanooga, TN for awhile longer.

HI JAN, I JUST MOVED INTO THE PALM SPRINGS AREA. WOULD LUV TO HEAR YOU PLAY AT ONE OF YOUR GIGS. I AM ALSO TRYING TO FIND OTHER MUSICIANS IN THE AREA THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN JAMMING. PLEASE E-MAIL ME- [email protected]

Hi Jan. I live in New York and am fortunate in being able to hear so many great players. I'm also fortunate that some of these great players are literally neighbors. I also tend bar in a NYC jazz club and get to hear great music regularly. It's not like work at all, and I earn money doing it. I play a 1954 "The Martin" alto sax, like the one Art Pepper played, and it's a great horn. I have studied here in New York with Lee Konitz and Tim Price. Not doing any gigs right now, as my band broke up last summer, and haven't started or gotten into another one. However, I keep up by showing up at jazz and blues jams around the city. I know some great repairmen here in New York, including Dr. Rick and Roberto of Roberto's woodwinds. Too bad you're that far away. The King Super 20 is one great horn. Great sound and looks too. I have played with several players who have them, and they love them. The only thing, according to them, is that the horn seems to need fairly constant adjustments. Still, it's one of the great horns. Welcome to the forum, and best of luck in all of your musical endeavors. Music is the best!

Count me in as a newcomer on the board! Just returned to tenor after many years off. I'm a thirty-year man on flute and loving the chance to play a different horn that seems to complement flute so well. Renting now but looking to buy after the New Year. Any tips will be studied with great care!
