I have rarely felt pretty or sexy except when I play my horn. It's a miracle! All the things about my looks that otherwise might work against me work for me in the musical arena; my gigantic head with large features is a perfect stage face, my extra-long torso is good for holding the bari sax, and my legs, hidden all these years under baggy jeans, look great in my turquoise performance tights. Now I just want to develop my carriage muscles for holding and carrying myself better. Swimming and dancing will do this.
I have been invited to jam with two of my sax heroes at an Elks Hall in Leominster Mass. They must be thinking, who is this beached mermaid with her bari sax? But I'll be ready.
