So I played alto for quite a while until I saved up the money for the baritone.

I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.

I don't know what I was trying to get out of a tenor - but it never really satisfied me until one day I picked up my alto and I said, 'Where have you been?' and I said right here for now on!

I play saxophone, I play tenor sax.

Only the French, I guess, really use tenor and alto to any great extent in the orchestra.

I played the sax at school. I was in marching band.

In a way, I started out to be a baritone player.

When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.

I never thought that I could make a living out of my voice, to be completely honest. I thought that I could probably keep playing pubs. And it was exciting for me to get even just a pub gig in my town or country, when I went to university.

I played in the high school band. I was the one baritone saxophone out of 80 other people. No one could tell whether I was hittin' the right notes or the wrong notes.
