- 75 YEARS OLD. PLAY FOR FUN, TENOR SAX AND TRUMPET. NORTHERN HILLS BAND, NEW HORIZONS BAND, SAXY SENIORS GROUP AND THE 7TH CAVALRY DRUM AND BUGLE CORP AND THE SPEARFISH COMMUNITY COLLEGE BAND WHEN I HAVE TIME. I PURCHASED LAVERN CLARKS MARTIN TENOR FROM DORY AFTER THE BOSS PASSED THRU THE VALE. I'M VERY HUMBLE TO HAVE IT. MY WIFE PHYLLIS IS AN ARTIST AND A GENEOLIGY RESEACHER. SHE ENJOYS MUSIC BUT DOESN'T PLAY ANYTHING. I STARTED OUT WHEN THE BOSS SAW A C-MELODY SAX IN MY GAS STATION AND GOT ME STARTED IN 1963 AT A CONOCO STATION WE OWNED IN DEADWOOD. SINCE THEN I PLAYED FOR 3 YEARS WITH THE NORTHERN HILLS GROUP AND THEN QUIT. 2001 I STARTED AGAIN AND TOOK LESSONS AND STILL DO. TENOR SAX IS MAIN INSTRUMENT AND THE NORTHERN HILLS BAND IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. THANKS FOR INVITING ME TO THIS GROUP. I WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN A WORD FOR MILO WINTER AND STEW CHRISTIONSON AS THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO ME ALSO. MILO DIRECTS THE NEW HORIZONS BAND SPONSERED BY HAGGERTYS MUSIC AND STEW DIRECTS THE SAXY SENIORS GROUP AND SOMETIMES HELPS MILO OUT WHEN HE HAS OTHER THINGS GOING. THE NEW HORIZONS BAND IS ONE OF 50 IN THE U S AND YOU MUST BE 50 OR OLDER TO PLAY. ITS A GREAT BAND. THE AVERAGE AGE NOW IS 65 I BELIEVE. LOTS OF FUN AND WE CAN USE ANYONE THAT WANTS TO PLAY, HAS PLAYED OR IS PLAYING NOW. WE HAVE LOTS OF BEGINNERS. COME JOIN US AT THE CANYON LAKE SENIOR CENTER TUESDAY AND THURSDAY AT 9 AM TILL ABOUT NOON. BOB HELLER

If I wrote a piece for sax quintet, would your group consider playing it? I can write in many different styles and have written for saxes before. If you would be interested, we could get it recorded and post it on your page. What do you think?
