Hello all,
I started playing alto in 4th grade ('77) and switched to bari in 7th grade. I stayed on bari until I graduated high school. Unfortunately I've hardly picked up a sax in all the years since.
Those years on the bari nurtured a love for the low end and I've been an avid bass guitarist since late '81.
I had been involved with music all that time (rock and pop stuff mostly) in working cover-bar bands.
Well, I recently pulled out my 30 year old Buescher Aristocrat alto and started blowing. It wasn't horrible. I opened some sheet music and started playing. While my lips were not in the best shape, my fingers didn't forget what to do.

After 20 years of dormancy I don't know if I'm so much a late bloomer as I am a cicada

I got some new reeds, ordered Art of Saxophone Playing by Larry Teal (should be here tomorrow) and I'm on my way.

Thanks for the welcome.
My Teal bbok arrived. There isn't a lot if music in it, is there.
Most of the text is stuff I already knew (save the reed stuff, but I don't think I'll ever be modifying my reeds anyway).
