Enjoy your Valentine’s Day – may it be filled with love and music. This song from my album “After Hours” is dedicated to anyone who is in love today.

Vacation: This is me at one of the Mayan ruins in Coba-Cozumel, Mexico (And, no, I did not climb all the way to the top.) (Smile).
Recent Vacation Photo: This is a picture of me and my wife on top of the Temple of the Sun God in Belize, Central America. We had a great time.
Congrats to the Grammy winners!
Congratulations to all the artists at the Grammys yesterday! It’s always amazing to see such a collection of talent. Congratulations especially to Gary Burton and Chick Corea for Best Improvised Jazz Solo and to the Pat Matheny Unity Band for Best Jazz Instrumental Album!
Feeling Better
I am feeling a lot better today. This flu was no joke. I am trudging along at work and am strengthened by some of my patients’ smiles and statements that they now have a quality of life. It is such a blessing when you know that you can positively impact the life of another. What joy!

Flu
I am recovering from the flu (yes, physicians do get ill too) and have not been practicing my horn for a while. Boy, can I tell that I have been out of the woodshed. Getting my wind back is a challenge, but I know that I will get there soon. I am feeling a bit rusty today.
“The saxophone is actually a translation of the human voice, in my conception. All you can do is play melody. No matter how complicated it gets, it’s still a melody.” –Stan Getz
“I don’t need words – it’s all in the phrasing.” –Louis Armstrong
