It’s quite a lengthy story about how Nancy knows Matt’s family, and I must admit, I was quite confused myself. Years ago, she had Matt as a great saxophone student, but he then switched to bassoon. Since Nancy didn’t own a bassoon at the time (it’s her double instrument, meaning her second strongest instrument), she sent him to an orchestral professional. He eventually bought a beautiful bassoon and now allows Nancy to use it. She gave it back to Matt for many years because they were busy needing to move, etc. But now, her heart is soaring again as she played it last night  after many years.   She was very fortunate to have one of the very best bassoon teachers, Chuck for years and he  even reads my blog.  Nancy says, “Thanks, Chuck!   Those bassoon lessons are forever fond memories of the enthusiasm and wisdom you taught me!”     Thanks to Laurie too for the best bassoon reeds!

Well, guess who’s now playing the saxophone? One of Matt’s lovely daughters has taken up the instrument. Nancy, a saxophone enthusiast, couldn’t resist giving her a mini lesson. She was delighted to hear that her band director had done an excellent job of introducing his daughter to the saxophone.   Hey, if she gives Matt’s daughter in person lessons this summer here and there, I can see Bruno again.   No, I don’t think that is a far fetched dream, do you?
