In recent years, I’ve lost close friends and acquaintances, and at 87 years old I find myself worrying when I don’t hear from the people I exchange emails with. So I’m posting some of my photos and my saxophone performances online to let them know how I’m doing.


I’m still playing the saxophone, even if my progress has been slow. In August, I performed “Memory” from Cats at my piano teacher’s Summer Concert — my first time playing in a recital in quite a while, https://youtu.be/nsswJPF3jGc?si=nvdxrhv7rl8WYC2F
