Thanks everyone!
Tom H - Very impressive. I didn’t have Nielsen chops back in the day and I don’t think I ever will but that’s ok. As I go I’ll discover where my ambitions lead me.
Doug - Despite Benny being the king I’ve always been an Artie Shaw man myself. A dream piece is probably his Concerto, with or without that final high Z. As I’m unlikely to run across a swing band, I anticipate getting more joy from local theater. I love hanging out with music lovers! I can always tackle Begin the Beguine for fun.
Late_returner - I will definitely check out the improv book. Dad - an above average amateur pianist of every genre from Mozart to Tin Pan Alley and hymns - had me playing by ear before I knew the C scale.
Bob - what a spectacularly generous offer! (My way of paying it forward was donating my time to our charter school as a substitute teacher for band and chorus. I had to take a buck a year for their insurance. I may not have an embouchure anymore but I can still wave my arms and laugh. Even though my kids have graduated I think I’ll go back and volunteer to teach some woodwind sectionals) I’m inclined to accept your offer but Ill pay for materials. I’m stretched, not destitute. A pack of pads and artificial reed arrived today though I’m skeptical about the reed. I bought the softest they had.
Tomorrow I’ll see if I can get a classic open B flat with it.
G’nite
