Just when you thought it was safe to avoid changing the all season tires this year the first icy blasts from the East are a reminder that it's best to spend 2 hours in the garage on a sunday trying to locate the snow tires before it's too late. I knew where they were. It just took 2 hours to get at them.
Well, I guess I must as I'm sitting here trying to remember everything that's gone on since the last post. Seven years ago!

A dreary and still cold Saturday night in Durham region. The winter that just keeps on bringing more snow and bitter winds. It's not a terrible winter, but it's less than hospitable. Not the type of night you'd really want to have to leave your glowing fireplace and drive along Taunton Road to find a church you've never been to...

You do develop a keen sense of adventure sometimes when presented with challenging repair work. Most routine repairs, those that require only minimal adjustments, are part of what makes a workshop tick along quite nicely and keep players playing. Another part of our business is dealing with situations with instruments that need far greater than the minimal. They need the maximum.
We had a rather disturbing phone call a few weeks back at Gazebo Music. Saxophone players can be a bit disturbed at the best of times, and we love them for that, but this one was troubled beyond the recognized and accepted level of turmoil we have come to treasure.
Firstly, for those of you unfamiliar with the urban Scot's 'to haver', is to talk foolishly and at great length. Something I'm more than a little guilty of so I've been told. Now I might be a fool to even want to talk about, or haver on about something as frivolous as a woodwind instrument pad saver, but a lot of people don't know what it is, don't know what it does or how to use it, or won't even go anywhere near it due to a bad experience or have read dark and disturbing story's of fear and dread.
