Hi guys
Hey I decided to check out this community because I'm a musician and an LJ refugee. I figure what better place to start than a music community. So I guess here's a bit about my musical side:
I play saxophone. I go to the University of North Texas. I'm trying to transfer over to Berklee College of Music. I've been humbled to share the stage with Jimmy Heath, Bob Mintzer, Bobby Shew, Bobby Militello, Denis DiBlasio, Gregg Bissonette, and some very amazing musicians that might not nationally be known. I've gone on small summer tours. I've played at Burlington Discover Jazz, Port Townsend, St. Louis, Greeley, and other jazz festivals. I was in a group scheduled to play at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland but college politics prevented us from going, at the very last minute.
Also, I started the Band Geeks Community over in DeadJournal way back in the day with my friend Carrah. I've since then passed the moderation torch onto younger geeks, but the community seems to have fizzled out.
So yeah, I'm looking for some friends over here. :)
