G'day from Bendigo

[Mike T]

G'day all.

I have been playing clarinet and saxophone for most of my life; for some 15 years during the 1980s and early 1990s I even managed to eke out a fulltime living, playing jazz and r&b.

I grew up in Australia but have spent more than half of my life in Europe - living at various times in Ireland, France and England. I also spent six months in Japan, playing on a paddle steamer on Lake Biwa near Kyoto. I returned to Australia most recently in 2012, back home in Bendigo, but wanderlust may well take me back to Europe next year.

I have been an active member at Sax on the Web for some years now, but just a lurker at Café Saxophone.
I always enjoyed this site, but never quite got around to joining up. At last I've got my finger out.

Hay @Mike T not far from you, when I've got a sax and have learned to play it would be great to have a jam one day if you were interested!
