Now that I have a gooseneck and bits that work to make pitch close to 440 level, I really like my helicon. Cerveny F, I've been told anywhere between about 1890 and 1905, but I really don't know. It plays remarkably well, I love the sound despite it's being teeny tiny compared to my B&S F.

I have one specific track by Red Nichols/5 Pennies, no other personnel info available that I can find right now (liner was missing from the CD when I bought it, quite used) that has the best bass sax solo work I've ever heard. "Battle Hymn", and the bass sax is almost inaudible, save one beat aside from the solo. I'm trying to find track information for that. It really is amazing.

I'm not sure if mp3s can be attached here, but I tried it. Suffice to say, it's tasty. But who is it?!

According to Bob Ringwald, Jack Wadsworth is retired in WA, has a place near LA somewhere and one in Hawaii. Retired from Disney Music. Not playing anymore, but at last word was doing well.
