About Me

Adelaide 39yo Saxophone Player. Currently playing with "Good Rockin' Tonite" - An Adelaide blues/rock/soul band. Into a massive range of music. You will find me watching all sorts of gigs from the big day out to jazz clubs.
I play the tenor sax, I've always loved it since hearing "Baker Street" for the first time in 1978. I started playing in my 20's but then stopped, got married, had kids and got divorced. My new wife takes all of the credit for getting me playing again. I've been back at it for 2-1/2 years and seriously for the last year and a bit with a fantastic teacher and mentor.
