Introduction Hello watchout another newbie, Northants

[Col9]

Hi all, I've just started playing, around 4 weeks. I'm learning in a band with 15 others all wind instruments, Been playing a couple of weeks and I've just sold an R/C Heli and bought a Hanson SA8-24KF to learn on.

I have a Jupiter 7xx which squeaks and wheezes that I got off of Ebay to learn on, great sax but despite playing well has a few grey areas that could be me or it.

I hope one day to play big band and swing but I know that is very long way off yet, so expect a few silly questions along the path.

Cheers all.
Col.

R/C Heli now that's almost as dangerous as becoming as sax addict.

I'm an electric flight person myself (planes). Though terrible and not finding enough time to get down the flying field (I have no transport and it's 45mins away by car...)

I'm hoping that will change when I go to Uni just outside of Brighton, lots of empty fields and farmers there!

Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy your latest hobby!

Welcome aboard.
Ambition: swing band.
I used to play trombone with the Basie Band back in the sixties, mind you, they were on records and I wasn't. 🙁
BTW According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary, Col is short for Colonel.
Do we have to stand to attention when you're on the board?

I think yes, you should all stand to attention, lets start how we mean to go on. 😱
Playing in the Basie band must have been a bit of an experience, cool.

Thanks for all the replys, real welcoming. So many boards you say "Hi" and just get tumble weeds blowing around.

So here's looking forward to getting the hang of it all and playing with the best of you...................Eventually 😉

cheers
Col.

Sorry Pete, my sense of humour tends to be a little opaque...!

Hi,

Whereabouts in Northants are you living? I'm from Wellingborough originally and now in Sheffield for my sins...
