Two weeks is a long time to not practice my saxophone – the longest stretch I’ve had in years. It takes a lot to pull me away, like a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Alaska. I just returned on Saturday and played a few tunes at the Madison Jazz Jam today, a little rusty but better than expected.
Once I get readjusted to darkness (central Alaska won’t be dark again until July 28), I plan to hit it hard and be ready for my next gigs in 2 weeks.
Here are a few photos of Alaska:
Glacier Bay (this is not a postcard; it looked like this in every direction)
Denali is the white mountain rising in the distance above the gray ones (seen best with enlargement). We were told over and over how lucky we were to see it this well – usually it is shrouded by clouds.
