Hello!

[Hurryheathen]

my name is Mike. I don't have much of a background in music, though I do have a good ear at tuning instruments. I played flute in high school but didn't keep going after graduation. After ten years of playing nothing I given an alto saxophone and a 12 string acoustic guitar; neither of which I yet know how to play.

Welcome to the forum . Maybe find a teacher for best outcome with your new instruments to conquer. We all had to start from scratch at one time.

Welcome to the forum, Mike ...

As Bill stated above we all started out the same way. Through years of practice we've arrived in our chosen musical careers in life.

Love the alto sax ... my son has a Kielwerth I got him during his high school days. He's 30 now and I keep hoping that he will take it up again.

A Buddy Holly fan custom ordered a 1964 Fender Stratocaster, in 1964,
and then three months later, traded it in for a set of new rock drums.
It hung there in the music store until I bought it in 1970,
after I saw Jimi Hendrix in Toronto.
