Happy St. Patricks Day to all!

Practicing tonight was short, but productive. 

I have been playing on reeds that are too soft.  As I review recordings, my tone, and work with the tuner for tone nuances and intonation, I started to think about what I do on bari sax.  Baritone sax is my strongest axe right now.  SO, I have been playing a mouthpiece identical in size to the bari mouthpiece, but the reeds I have been using for the tenor are much softer.  Logic then told me to try a harder reed.  I have a 3 1/2 Vandy ZZ on, which is a little stiff, but playable, and solved some problems.  This is an area I will continue to work on and update.
Now to get the leak at middle C fixed.......

More tomorrow!
