I like Chet Baker too. He is my favorite trumpet player. Music by the kind of musicians we like and love go together.

I always loved the sax but then I discovered Chet Baker playing his trumpet and singing " I fall in love too Easily" .............and I am lost!

How about a woman who plays sax?

Europa by Gato Barbieri. Anything by Candy Dulfer (she's pretty modern, though). I've almost given up on the other.

I loved to hear Paul Desxmond -- such a sweet sound.

I hear ya.

I think Maslow might have missed that out of his famous heirarchy of needs. Perhaps level three should be "Love and Sax."

It is not what the man needs... Is what is that she wants at that moment and remember they will change their minds faster than you. At 14 I though I knew about the saxophone, my first instrument, but my back up plan, poetry happen to be the closer of the deal. By 16 I learned that saxophone wasn't needed for the 16 year old, poetry was the trick and ace in the hole. At 64... she is going to have to let me be me. I can dance and write poetry... that better be enough. Because I am what I am and I don't want her to change so I won't change for no one.

GlennMiller? Dorsey?

Food, water, shelter, income, a mate that can stand that crap, maybe a pet, a vehicle, and some kind of savings of some kind.. That's what I'd recommend!
