Introduction Hello from a beginner

[jadoube]

Hi everyone,

Found my way here from a link on SOTW.

I'm new to music in any form whatsoever, so started from scratch 7 months ago. (I think I'm still there.)

Simple story. Apparantly my wife once heard me say I fancied playing the sax. So on my 50th I got a surprise parcel and felt a fairly strong obligation to put the effort in to learn.

I'm a lucky man.

John

Hello John and greetings from Spain and another late starter.

Are you still playing to please the good lady or for yourself.

Note to Pete:
Just a suggestion, but I think it might be interesting to have an 'age poll'. No one has to put their name to an age if they don't want to.

Hi John, welcome to the breakfast room.

Ken: its not necessary to be an administrator to start a poll, you can do it. There's a button on the left when you post a new topic - "add poll".

Sorry Pete, I hadn't noticed that. I'll give it a go.

Welcome.
Are you a chess-player too?
(just wondered because of the nom-de-plume!)

Roger, no longer a chess player. I use the nom-de-plume when playing 'Go' online. Go is an Asian board game that many chess palyers also enjoy (some of the tactical challenges of chess combined with serious strategic thinking)
