I play sax in a Hobo Band

We have a ten piece band formed at work. I would describe the music as vaudevillian skiffle. The songs we play are mostly early American ragtime-jazz-blues (think roaring 20's), best described by the instruments involved: banjo, mandolin, resonator, washboard, snare drum, acoustic guitar, trombone, violin, tenor sax and alto sax (me). It's fun to play with a horn section again. Here's a countdown to our next show:

  2. Brian and I hope to make it. Never been to a "pub" but always wanted to. Didn't know one was tucked away in downtown Medford.

    Happy Thanksgiving, Doells. Be safe, be blessed!
