Nicky is nine and he is learning to play sax. He has had three lessons from his grandpa (me). At a Christmas party he pulled out his alto sax and just started playing. It was quite musical considering that he only knows a few notes. I was impressed and he played for about 15 minutes while everyone else talked and drank punch.

I hired a quartet to play. The alto sax player was Colin and friend of mine who has helped me with my return to the sax. They were quite good and played much longer than the agreed upon time. I’m glad they decided to perform for this party.

Nicky is working on his fourth lesson. I should give him some assistance.
