Introduction Bonjour

[philippe]

Hello All
Philippe here calling from Portsmouth, UK. I'm an amateur player on tenor, soprano and flute in a funk band. You can catch us every other Sunday at the Drift bar in Palmerston Road and every 3 Thursdays in Santa Fe (Gunwharf). We're going to start some gigs in Tiger Tiger (also in Gunwharf). I also play jazz in various combos around the area. Last month we played support for Courtney Pine, the highlight of my career so far!

My main focus is jazz and I've started writing and arranging recently. I had one lesson with Pete a while ago, and really appreciate the effort he's put into the site.

Look forward to getting to know you all.

Philippe

Thanks, very thoughtful. I'm under doctor's orders to cut down the caffeine though - got any decaff?

Recent thinking says that coffee is good for you; most of the negative correlations were through factors like, most people who smoke also drink coffee. If you correct for the smokers biasing the study, coffee starts to look good.

So crank up the Gaggia!

That's also what my recent thinking tells me, so it must be true! 😉
