I have just ordered the Rock And Roll Saxophone book. It had better be good :wink: .

I would have ordered the Contemporary Saxophone book too, but haven't been able to find a UK retailer (online or otherwise) that stocks it.

Hi Billy. I appreciate it and hope that you enjoy it. If you have any questions about the lessons after you get into them, get with me at JSAXL@aol.com

The UK dealer who sold you the book should be able to get from the same source since it comes from the same supplier/publisher. If I can help let know.

By the way, send me an email and I will send a list of Top 40 songs (U.S. and U.K.) to you. Your fine U.K. sax man Chris "Snake" Davis is envolved in the project. Excellent musician!

Billy, after you get to the above page, type in Contemporary Saxophone. Appears to be a U.K. supplier. Although it states out of print, they can get it by contacting Hal Leonard, Inc. If you still have a problem let me know and I will contact them for you. Good luck.

Thanks for the help John. An e-mail is on it's way to you.

(Oh, and by the way, this is the UK distributor I used to order Rock & Roll Saxophone (Second Edition) http://www.musicroom.com/se/artauthID/0003029/artauth.html. I have sent them an e-mail to see if they can get hold of Contemporary Saxophone. I will let you know how I get on.
