At the suggestion of a friend, in 1999, I joined a local Wind Band and a local Jazz Band. I stayed with these groups for two years before moving on (to do doctoral work). It felt good to be performing again. The highlight of this period was a single performance at Seiji Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood on May 14, 2000 (Mother's Day). The highlight of this performance was Duke Ellington's Star Crossed Lovers (with me playing the alto sax solo).
