Nice comment about "Faker Street" ....

Cheers Lewis .... Hope your doing ok too (Best wishes) ... Hows the old Pelham Special doing .. ? I see Alan pop's his head up "Now & Then" on here .. !

Hi Lewis ... Deano here from Alan's C Mel site ...

There is nothing wrong with minor perfection.

Don't chase perfection as perfection is unattainable. I find practice makes perfect to be true but also a misnomer as practice makes one not perfect but it makes one's activity second nature to involuntary acts such as breathing, etc.

hey capt. b,
i noticed in the metalite fan post your having to change mpcs to match reeds...in the thread "all you vandoren and rico jazz select experts " dave r turned on this novice player and others to a simple way adjust reeds to a mouthpiece......using his flick method you can stick to your beloved m-11 with all your reeds.....john

Lewis - of course you may become a friend - isn't that what we are already ?

Just drove back from a funeral in Plymouth ( and a quick forage over the border to my Cornish homeland) - and a timely reminder that life is so fragile, so I'd better make the best of it and stop farting around... The 'big C' crept up on a very healthy lady, a fighter and full of life, but she was gone in a matter of months - all that can thankfully be said is that she was spared pain and suffering at the end. Shudder...

Kind Regards, Alan
