Introduction HI FROM ESSEX

[daveq]

HI EVERYBODY,have just re registered as I forgot my username/password.have been playing for about nine months now,it was six when I first joined the forum and have been wanting to ask a few questions.learning to play alto have a good teacher and have a lesson every week plus lots of practice between.like a variety of music but prefer ska and reggae from my teenage days as I have turned fifty, and learning the sax is safer than taking up motorcycling or rock climbing.

Hi Dave,
Welcome from the rainy, murky Black-country. I can't honestly say that I get the same adrenalin rush from my sax as from a litre sports bike, but it comes close!!
You are so lucky to be in Essex. There must be more Blues bands per sq. mile than in any other part of the UK. The place seems to be rife with musical talent! No! I'm not thinking of Denise van Outen!

Nah... You need to take up the saxophone AND motorcycling - this way lies eternal youth (he kids himself)...

cheers,

Bob

two great Chinese saxes, one great Italian motorycycle

Hi Dave, from just across a bit from you - that's lovely Welwyn, Herts. Saxophones may be a safer option, but they are dangerously addictive. Have fun.

Cheers, Bob

Greetings Young Sir.
Bin the litre sports bike, get yourself a Hawg with a dead man's clutch. Then ride, play one handed and smoke your bong all at the same time.
Now that's adrenalin.

Hello,

..and welcome from Hertfordshire 🙂

I'd say biking and sax are the perfect combo!

sax is safer than . . .

are you sure . . ?

Welcome Dave,
I'm in the over sixties bracket have fallen off the stage a few times, dislocated my shoulder on a band reunion, gave up pro playing one time due to autobahn paranoia.
Be warned young lad.

Hi daveq

Welcome from New Zealand, where everythings safe except, tramping, Mountainbiking, mountaineering, bungie jumping, crossing the road etc, not even sure about sax playing as I recently did some fire walking while playing my sax, phew was that hot stuff!

Cheers

Hi and Welcome from a sunny Lichfield Staffs.

I have recently given up kayaking white water. My excuse was the expense of the Life insurance. THE TRUTH, getting to old. To be honest I Don't see blowing a horn falls into dangerous sports. But I may be proven wrong!!
