Introduction Hello to everyone......!!

[bererunner]

Hi there, i'm John and i live in Gosport, Hampshire. I got my Trevor James Rev 2 Alto only two weeks ago, so i'm a real beginner. Only had my horn together a hand full of times so far, but the pressure has eased slightly at work now so i'm looking to get some time on the horn every day from now on. I'm just the wrong side of fifty, so i'm a bit of a late starter when it comes to playing an instrument. I don't have a favourite type/ genre of music, probably easier to say that i'm not keen on folk or country, so yes i like lots of different types of music. I've just finished helping a local DJ with a mixing project for his Saturday night radio show which specialises in House music. I haven't had any lessons yet but will be in the near future. I've decided to use the omnibus edition of The Complete Saxophone Player as my starting point, its written by Raphael Ravenscroft, he of the Baker Street sax riff. I've only covered notes A B G F C, so far, so still a long way to goes yet before i get to try Baker Street, Take Five or Girl from Ipanema. Well if i haven't bored the pants off you all, i'll take my leave for now, and i hope to catch up with you all soon.

John.

Hello John and welcome from Welwyn, Herts. So, you're the wrong side of 50? You'll be ok once you pass your 50th y'know 😉

Enjoy your alto, I had one of those and it did me fine.

Cheers, Bob
