It's a small world, the world of the saxo

Gwilym took his saxo to church to show Olivier. Have I jumped into the middle of a story ? OK.

Gwilym has started having saxophone lessons at the Pessac school of music. French towns often have schools of music which are subsidised by the town council so the lessons are cheap. So we have rented a saxo for Gwilym and Catrin has started having lessons on my old flute, which still works very well ( an Emerson model 1 offset, closed hole, no split E, for the flute afficionados among you. I have always liked that flute because though it could have a sweeter sound if you push hard it has a big bottom octave ). Anyway, we got the rental saxo on Wednesday and he had his first lesson.

He wants to learn saxo because one of the chaps at church plays, so he took it along to church to show him. He wasn't impressed. He thinks it needs regulating or something. It's hard to get much out at the bottom.

Anyway, he knows Gwilym's saxo teacher. In fact he played at his wedding.

You daren't sniff, honestly you daren't.
