When  I landed in the desert for my seventh overseas position, I never dreamed I would be playing music again. I hadn't picked up a sax or clarinet in over 30 years. Imagine that!

​

Somehow, I found my way into the sunday night community jazz band called the Dharan Big Band. Next to me was Izzy, a professional clarinet teacher. On the other side was Fröde, a second generation saxophone prodigy!  Imagine my embarrassment! Imagine the pressure I put on myself. I have practiced more in the past nine years than I have in the previous four decades of my life.

 

This video was recorded for our first desert concert!
