    Hey gang! Everyone in my immediate family except for me has recently relocated to beautiful Salem, Oregon, and I'll be spending a week there in late September.

    I hope this is not a stupid question, but I was wondering what are some ways that a novice sax player can find to start playing with other people? Open mic nights? I am starting to think about playing with other people but not certain about the right way to go about it.
