Introduction Hello

[Jinx2886]

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum.
I'm from Enschede, in the Netherlands.
I'm 39 years old and have been playing music since I was 8. First I played the clarinet, and later I started playing the saxophone.

I own an alto saxophone, but I've also played the tenor and baritone saxophones.

Welcome, do you still play clarinet

 

[Pete Thomas]

I did a gig in Enschede. It was memorable for meeting a young lady called Jacqueline who taught me how to pronounce Enschede.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome from another long-term Dutch resident, @Jinx2886!

Good to have you here. I don't regret my 'amateur' involvement in music. But in terms of clarinet/sax playing, I often wish that I'd started out as young as you did. I was 40 when I rented my 1st (tenor) sax.

I'm (still) British but I've lived and worked in NL since 1978 (before you were born!). My Dutch 'roots' are in Brabant I've lived in Eindhoven (28 years). Den Bosch (5 years) and now in Breda (13 years). I'm long retired but I used to worked nationally in NL, including in Enschede and Hengelo.

Personally, I really like Overijssel. I used to visit some friends there and the countryside always seemed to me to be a lot wider and more peaceful than the 'Randstad' where I (unfortunately) spent a lot of my working life.

Best wishes,

Mike

Hi Mike,

You lived in very nice cities!
Overijssel is indeed very peaceful. I do like to visit the Randstad but only for a day.

Welcome to the forum.

I was wondering why Enschede is your favourite Netherlands city. It looks like you enjoyed the pronounciation lesson. Pitty I can not hear you say "Enschede".
Anyway nice to know you visit this part of the Netherland.
