Introduction Hello

[jersey_mike]

No--not the island of Jersey. I see this is primarily a UK forum and I'm in the USA--New Jersey, though at least I've been to the UK as I've a brother in Dunstable.
I'm pretty much a baby saxer at age 50. I bought a student tenor about 14 years ago and took 6 months lessons. The horn was pretty much in storage until roughly a year ago and when turning 50 I decided to either sell it or (re)learn the danged thing!
My instructor is very good teaching not only the scales and articulation exercises (a bane to my very existance) but also music/jazz theory and having me play standards with improv while he plays piano.
I thank you all for the help you've been while I've lurked and look forward to being part of the forum directly.
Mike

Hi Mike and welcome to the Breakfast Room, a very friendly and helpful place to be as you will know if you've been lurking.

It's a small world, you know; I'm 50, a comparitive new starter (less than 3 years) on sax.... and I have a brother in Dunstable!

Hope to see you around the forums.

Cheers, Bob
