    The big band that I’ve been playing in finds itself short on altos. In fact, they have none… So until we find someone better, I’m switching to first alto. Though I actually do prefer playing Bari, that’s a luxury, alto is necessary. This means I will actually have to step up and take some solos, including some improvisation… while I honestly prefer Bari, this will force me to step up my game and get closer to where I was 30 years ago…

      The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

        I’ve come to realize that’s the whole point of hiring a teacher or trainer in just about anything.

          If my nephew wasn’t West Coast I’d hook you up. He’s good.
