Tenor Saxophone

When I was in the 7th grade at Ida M. Fisher Junior High School ( about 1960 ) Mrs. Dinino was the music teacher. We were requested to select the instrument . I chose the tenor saxophone. I'm not really sure why I chose this particular instrument but that was the beginning of 7 years of formal education.

Heart wrenching balads

When I was growing up , I think at about age 13, I used to listen to my radio and try to record the music with a small mic. Then I learned that I could hook up leads to the speaker...a better way. But, I was a sucker for heart wrenching ballads. Especially Paul Anka stuff. I mean, he cried singing some of his songs. It was beautiful.
