Introduction hi

[Basil]

Hello from Devon (not that far from Griff). I did everything that this site says don't do, had a drink, bid for an alto on ebay, and am now the proud owner of a Yamaha YAS23 which was amazingly (and luckily) in perfect order when it arrived.

I have been taking lessons since mid May, using good old Boosey and Hawkes "Learn as you play" (or in my case, as you squeak) (actually I'm not that bad), and am now on unit 17

Anyway, I have only just discovered the door bell, so sorry that I didn't post here earlier, and, well, hi .

Hi Basil, I'm also doing boosey and Hawkes and find it rather instructional but I also supplement it with a LOT of songbooks for variety and fun.

Welcome.

Hi Basil. Rodney (rodster) here. I've just discovered this entire site tonight. Will you be playing professionally?

 

[phuzi]

Hi Yammy. Where do you play?

Hi sharon. Where is Swansea?

Rodster, and all. Hi. What a welcome !
If people want to give me money to hear me play then who am I to argue ??? Not sure that I will deliberately go out and sell tickets (next year perhaps !).....but all donations are gratefully received 🙂
