Cafe Announcements 📣 John Talcott - aka jbtsax

[Pete Thomas]

I've very much been missing the contributions we get here over the years from John and have just heard that he is in a bad way following a fall a while back. I don't know any more details except that his condition is very serious.

He has been one of the absolute best contributors and I know for a fact that many of us feel the same - his knowledge and experience of saxophone tech and teaching has helped us all greatly.

I wish him and his family all the absolute best.

Our thoughts are very much with you John.

 

[Jeanette]

John has been a great contributor and supporter of the café for some years. He has willingly and freely given advice and support to many here.

Thank you John for all your contributions and help you have given over the years in the café.

You are in our thoughts.

Thank you for digging this out Pete, I’ve been wondering about him. I think @PigSquealer asked about him a couple weeks ago.

Very sorry to hear this, I’ve been a fan of John for many years, both here and on the other forum, as well as a few other places like Keith Bradbury’s old mouthpiece forum. I have a lot of respect for him, his many contributions and deep knowledge of all things saxophone.

My best wishes to him and his family, and I hope for his recoverry.

@skeller047 thanks for the tag.

Yes I posted John as MIA on sotw
a while back.

@jtbsax get well soon.

 

[Colin the Bear]

Is there any way we can send him our best wishes?

 

[LostCircuits]

I've been trying to find out what happened for a few weeks now, thanks @Pete Thomas for updating us here, I left voicemails, email and whatever other possible communications with him and inquired with other forum members here and on the other side without success.

I hope he will have a speedy and full recovery and if there is anything I can contribute to him or his family, please let me know!

 

[dreadnet]

Get well soon John, your advice has been spot on and appreciated.

 

[Jeanette]

I will be sending a link to this thread to the family who will pass on your thoughts and best wishes to John.

Wondered where you got to John. There were some recent threads that really called for your input to move them on. All the best.

[Jimmymack]

I'm sorry to hear this, I wondered where he had gone. Best wishes John.

 

[Stephen Howard]

Very saddened to hear the news. I guess like many others I just assumed his absence was down to being busy.
Sincerely hope he makes a full and fast recovery!

 

[jazzdoh]

Sorry to read this, hope you are better soon John.

 

[TimboSax]

Best wishes John, get well soon
