Hi Twister...I'm picker and a singer from the central coast of California, but after the guitar alto sax is about my fav. instrument. I've loved jazz ever since I was a kid, favs include Dexter Gordon, Getz (w/o the schmaltz) and Gerry Mulligan....I know, I know,...got a thing for dead guys. I am also of the female persuasion...and love books.
