Year end thoughts

I hope everyone enjoyed playing with the band as much as I did in 2009. Some of the highlights included meeting new members, learning new music, and playing for the largest swing dance crowd in our long history. The dedication you all have to the Hog Heaven Big Band is a tremendous inspiration for me. Playing with all of you is one of the highlights of my life.

Saxophone Quintet at the Palouse Mall

Here are some of the saxophones that are appearing at the Palouse Mall December 18 at 4:30 p.m. The Saxophone Quintet performs using some of Tim's collection of instruments.

His contrabass is one of the few in existence and will anchor the low end. The soprillo and sopranino take care of the high end. Baritone, tenor and alto will fill in the middle range.
