Well played! good clear tone.

i’ve got a long way to go, to be able to play the range of different songs you cover.
i’m barely starting out with easier tunes like Michelle. Just about playing it better in time with the beat.

Great energy,tone, and expression. You are ready to play in public (if you haven’t already).

A few years ago, I had one very encouraging patron who was very supportive, and that got me started. She paid me $100 an hour, cash in my hand, and gave me a hug at the end of the night for playing at their large house parties. I continued to push out there and started charging a fee to play, not because I needed the money so much, but because I wanted to play where people were interested in having me there.

I just did two hours (free) for a fundraiser that we support. During the event, I put myself in the auction for a two-hour gig at the buyer’s event. They auctioned me off in front of 200 people, and the organization received two purchases for $200 each. I wanted to be supportive of the organization, and it helps me develop new customers, as I think that many people these days are not in the habit of hiring live saxophone music.

Do you play at public/private events?

You must hold your breath a little to be auctioned off to 200 people. I think it will fund and expand the variety of vendors and people I can play for. Here is a picture of the event

You have a big microphone on your horn, and it sounds good.

I am enjoying using a NUX B-6 Saxophone Wireless (About $200). It comes in a nice charging case, is easy to use, and sounds great. I also have an Isolo system that works well, but I usually end up using the NUX as it is a little simpler to plug, store, in, and use.

Keep posting those videos.
