Introduction I hope your all friendly out there !!

[gazb]

I made a promise to my dear mate John Butler who passed away last year that I would learn to play the sax as wonderfully as he did. I have always had a burning passion to play the alto sax so at 50 and an inherited sax I guess its time to 'get down on it'!

I will of course be a pain to all you pro's out there so be gentle with me and don't forget I will have those Victor Meldrew times when things don't go quite to plan. In advance I thank you for your patience. 😡

Hi GazB and welcome to the Breakfastroom, oh yes we're friendly. And good luck with the alto.

Welcome Gaz, have a great time with the alto. There's a good mix of levels from beginner to pro in here, and never feel that any question is too ridiculous to ask

Cheers, Bob

Hello Gaz
The thought of Victor Meldrew playing the sax shouting "I dont B****y belive it" will keep me laughing for a day or two. :laugh:

So thanks for that vision and welcome

Thanks Pete.
Already got your DVD which has been a great start for me. Even the neighbours are still talking to me which is a plus.

I will be looking for a teacher in the next couple of weeks so if anyone has any contacts in the Hampshire area I would welcome them. I live in Andover but work from Southampton. Appreciate any input.

Hi Col,
I'm glad you appreciated my wacky thought but what a great script it could have been don't you think?

Cheers
