Thought i might as well ;post my first thread on the 'Doorbell' as requested by unknown...
I picked up the sax when i was 16 in Preston, Lancashire. My tutor was a great man, sadly passed away a few years ago, called Sid Munson. Sid taught Sid taught Ian Kirkham who played Sax with Simply Red. I used to hear them jamming downstairs in the basement circa 1990 and was my inspiration to master the Sax. Sid also got me into Big band, Jazz and Blues.
My favourite musicians are probably Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Stan Getz
I have a varied music taste, starting with Motown and Northern Soul (check wikipedia for all you stateside), Ska, reggae, Bluebeat, Rocksteady.
i havent played the sax for the last 15 years now and i am about to purchase a new one. I am keen on either the Yamaha 62, or the Bauhaus Walstein earth series tenor, or the Trevor James signature custom rax tenor.
I like the old, unlaquered finish at the moment. So will choose wisely....
