Question time! Give me your clarinet or saxophone questions, and I'll do my best to answer them. Have a playing problem you'd like help with? Let me know! Has there always been something bugging you about these instruments? I can help! Need advice as far as equipment? Ask! Give me your questions!

This week, I'm with the Oregon Mozart Players! I am honored to be included. This concert will present the winners of the young artist competition. OMP will also join with the Eugene Eugene-Springfield Youth Orchestras! So, I get to play with an old student as well! www.oregonmozartplayers.org

The US was stress tested in 2016, 2020, and 2024–and it abysmally failed the test. No country on earth ever fell so far so fast. Unfortunately the damage though it may be mitigated can never be undone. The great book of the history of the US will end with a moron elected twice by a nation of morons.

Sunday, May 4th at 2:30!

Listening to Jimmy Bosch and his Salsa band was the absolute best choice I have made to maintain my sanity at my brainless day job today. #salsamusic

I would much rather live next to anyone else... Immigrant, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, "illegal" or not, than live near any white christo-fascist nationalist. #downwithfascism #nationalismisnottheway #punchnazis

Of course, when I start working outside, my equipment immediately fails. I give up.. Stupid string trimmer....

One more for the day

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

ICE has just sent an innocent 19-year old young man named Merwil Gutiérrez to El Salvador to die in the same concentration camp. He wasn’t even their target, and they kidnapped him anyway. Jesus Christ, people. Wake up.

This happened in Boston. Trump's ICE Gestapo just took away a little girl in a Winnie the Pooh shirt who was on her way to school. 🥺🥺🥺👇

Trump just caved to Big Pharma—again. His new executive order pushes to delay Medicare drug price negotiations, giving drug companies four extra years to price gouge seniors. The only winners here are the drug companies.

Today was one of those days, as an adult with a family and a part time job, that I never did get to do any practicing. It hurts me physically every time that happens. If you have the opportunity, get some time practicing. Don't take a second of that time for granted.

No professed Christian has any business celebrating Easter while doing nothing to free an innocent man and to condemn the people who placed him in chains. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-your-ch...

Wow let's surround this guy with our support that's call him let's thank him let's keep him in our prayers and let's hope he is successful.

Hey! Reed players! Listen up! I highly recommend that you all purchase your year's worth of reeds NOW. Most reeds are not made in this country, and even if they are, like D'Addario, the cane they are made from is not grown here.

Check out this upcoming concert by the Eugene Concert Choir. It is Joan Szymko's Shadow and Light. This piece explores Alzheimer's. It is one of the top 5 most important works of my life. Please click on the link below and purchase your tickets now: eugeneconcertchoir.org/2024-2025-se...

Cory Booker for president. That is all.

As an American Jew I cannot express how much less safe I feel living in a country where people can be snatched off the street and institutions can be bankrupted for making Dear Leader mad

What we don't seen to understand is how much danger we are actually in. 1930s Germany was a crippled, sickly thing that mustered a military, basically in secret, big enough to challenge all of Europe. We are not crippled nor sickly. We have the strongest military in the world. See what's up?

Might save a life.
