Today's work...
I finally completed Jed's tenor today, and even got a few hours of work done on Randall's PM. I took some photos of Jed's 6:

Friday, saxophonist extraordinaire Tom Pereira was in town playing at the Blue Monk with drummer Charlie Dogget, bassist Dan Schulte and my friend David Valdez, arguably the best alto player in the Northwest. I sat in on a couple of tunes and had a great time playing with such a heavy group of cats. On Saturday I went over to Dave's house and re-engraved Tom's Mark VI tenor, which had been badly buffed by a previous owner. It was a total treat to hang out with Dave and Tom talking mouthpieces, horns and history. They were jamming out to Aebersold records while I was carving away Tom's tenor. Everyone should send an e-mail to Tom and tell him to move to Portland!
More photos tomorrow... hopefully of a completed P. Mauriat tenor. Oh, and it snowed today for the first time this year!

As usual Jason, tremendous work on Jeds horn!

Jason,
Many huge thanks for the work you did on my horn. It just looks fantastic! Moreover, thank you for sitting in on the gig. I really had a great time hanging with you both at the gig and at Dave's. You're such a warm and wonderful person it really touched me. PDX is really special and I would love to be on the scene there soon.
Tom
