Introduction Just saying hello

[steve_buley]

Hi - just joined the site - been playing music for around 30 years now - mostly guitar, bass and some keyboards. Been in a few bands and played the smoky pubs (that I guess are no longer smoky now...).

Bought a beautiful Trevor James Tenor Sax about 4 weeks ago and am making strange noises around the house - some of them sound great (or great'ish), some of them sound bloody awful - but perserverance is obviously the only way forward...

Strange that women always give me a strange look when I tell them I've been hard at work practising my tonguing...

I hope to learn lots and eventually get playing with others...

Steve

[color😛urple]Hi Steve,

Hi Steve - a warm welcome from Lincoln

Hi Steve from damp grey Welwyn in Herts. As a newbie parper you've definitely come to the right place.

Cheers, Bob

Gidday Steve,
From wet spring time in New Zealand.

I play with a Naked lady daily (the avatar to the left---my 1935 Conn, Naked lady model Sax)

Actually I have two (sometimes)

What is parping exactly?

Cheers
