Nancy, All I can say is, "I wish I had been there to hear it."

Subject: [kl] Concert report

I can't ever think of a time when I have posted about my own concert
performance success or failure before, but yesterday I managed to play =
the
solo sax parts in the L'Arlessiene Suites and not sound like an absolute
jerk. I have never played orchestral sax before and have spent the last =
few
weeks sleeping with the sax (men are a better deal!). It is a good =
feeling
to be able to fool a hall full of people into believing that I am a good =
sax
player. I feel very lucky indeed. The money spent on a closer =
mouthpiece,
harder reeds and the BG Super Revelation ligature actually paid off. =
The
ligature was a big surprise, as it freed up my articulation and the
mouthpiece helped smooth out my sound. All in all, I'm very pleased =
with
myself and just had to share. I have carefully measured my head though, =
and
so far it isn't any bigger!
