Hi, let me introduce myself.
I was a member of this group back in the 90's. Can't remember what I called myself, but my avatar was a pink elephant! Might put that one up again.
History: Fan of trad jazz in the 60's (that shows my age), especially the clarinet, Bilk, Semple etc, so bought second hand clarinet, but being in the Royal Navy, didn't have much opportunity to practice. After marrying , "settling down" in the 70's picked it up again, taught myself to read music from books, and managed to play (badly) a few tunes. Early 80's decided to progress to a saxophone, tenor. After loud complaints from nasty neighbour, and concerns from the wife, I sold it. Now I have retired, and have more time on my hands, and the neighbour being more compliant, (even chatting over the fence), and showing willing to let me play I have purchased the Bauhaus tenor, and am back in the 'swing'.
So, as a returning beginner I will have a few questions to ask, and grateful for any advice.
Regards
Brewer
