For most of my 82 years I’ve been a singer. My partner, Foss, is the sax player. One day, Foss was trying to recruit members for the orchestra and also fancied treating herself to a new sax. So before I’d had time to think up a good excuse not to do it, I found myself signed up and sitting in the back row of the orchestra trying to play her old sax and make sense of the specially written starter parts. Luckily Covid came along a month later and that gave me two years with nothing better to do than learn to play well enough to join in more effectively. I’m a sailor so practicing also has to happen when I’m out on the boat in Australia.
