      William, glad to cyber meet you at last. I’m glad you weathered the storms….
      That’s a very classical medely….rounded off with ” Sweet Caroline “…. Nice touch !!
      Did you get your choice of reeds sorted out ?
      I know you’ve been really into these hemp & onyx reeds ??
      I did see a mail off of Johnny, I guess a new batch of reeds has come in…☺
      Reeds , reeds, reeds, the BANE of every horn players life. I really had settled on ” Bari ” reeds acre a long period using green Java #3….
      The Lawton at first sounded better with cane, but now back to ” Bari “…
      The link had been getting total ” Bari ” use from the day I got it. Now I’m soaking a slightly softer cane reed to compensate for its wider tip …😕😕

      Peter, ello mate. Don’t you have Sky movies ??
      I was going to say , if you have a cable set up you can just rent out the movie for the night.
      If you’ve ordered the DVD ….probably better to wait…
      We’ve done exactly that. Marie is keeping an eye out for the time rotation…
      Pretty sure its 6. 30…..
      Regardless, thanks, yeah , we’re having a nice day.
      Things are going to be fine….😉

        Back to the Medeleys William…..
        I’m just doing one of mine….
        Emily ….Zoot ( off of Zoot plays Johnny Mandel )
        Alfie….Sonny..
        Stardust…..( that’s just a real nice easy going ballad for a Sunday ).
        Next week its back to top end tenor …AGAIN !!
        This discipline will probably see me through this year. It has always been my weakest point.
        Until I can play a G2 ( that’s G with octave key )…up through the altissimo to the G above… THEN ILL BE HAPPY !!☺☺
        No blaming the mpcs , reeds , horns , just keep plugging away….😕😕😕
        The whole point being , its has to be as smoooooth as the G to G an octave below….
        Anyhow , that’s tomorrow….movie time ..6.10…
        Let’s get back into these mellow ballads…

          Rented and watched Born To be Blue yesterday. Quite the story.
