Introduction Hello, new here

[Sooch]

Greetings from the Garden State. Probably the last living private student of Joe Allard's, back when he had a studio across from Radio City Music hall, before he joined academia. Play both alto and tenor, but lately I've been favoring the alto again due to the demands of the tenor on these aging lungs.

Welcome to the Cafe from a neighbor across the Hudson. I bet you have some great wisdom to share from Joe Allard. Nice to have you here.

Welcome, I read a interview with Dave Demsey recently, another student of Allard with some fun stories.

Welcome to the forum, @Sooch !

Altos are good instruments (although I love the tenor,) I've got 4 altos. (Got bit by GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome but my intent is to pass 2 on to family members or community band. 😉 1 needs restoration. )

Hope to hear more from you!
