Yep! one of the greatest alto saxophonists of all time.

That is so cool that you have a picture of the original 'Yardbird!' He died when I was about 5 but my dad listened to his music and that is how I became interested in playing the sax. IMO, there are few who can play to the level he achieved even with all the personal problems he endured and ultimately died from. I used his song 'Ornithology' and my performance undergraduate thesis back in college. I really doubted that anyone here would know who he was. :surprised And now, back to Zs.

Awwwwwe, gee Craig. Thanks heaps mate.

Since I'm now listed as an Australian/United States member, does that mean I'm an honorary Yank ????????????
