Introduction Hello everyone

[Bobby G]

Hi, I'm Bob, and I've been playing alto for a couple of years. I made the switch from guitars/bass after 35 years. I got offered a Buescher Aristocrat 200 at a good price and haven't looked back! I upgraded to a Yamaha 62 a few months ago, and it's really made a difference. I'm self-taught, and developing a sort of jazz/blues style - I particularly love Cannonball, Johnny Hodges and Hank Crawford, But I don't suppose I'll be scaring any of 'em just yet. I love jazz in all it's forms, but can't quite seem to shake off the rock & roll roots! No doubt silly questions to follow (from me that is).....!

Should have also said a big thanks to Pete for the site, answering questions in the past etc. The stuff about blues and jazz scales and theory is excellent even to a near non-reader like me - well, memories of childhood piano lessons still linger, and playing for as long as I have certainly develops the ears! Cheers!
