MUSIC

One of the advantages of being retired is to be able to pursue some of the activities or interests that one could not easily afford during a full and active professional life. I used to play saxophone in Rhythm & Blues bands during the 1960's as a means of supporting my expenses during my college and university years. I had never completely abandoned the instrument. Below are a few of the songs I recorded recently. I hope you enjoy listening to them.

MUSIQUE

L’un des privilèges de la retraite est de pouvoir renouer avec des passions mises entre parenthèses durant une carrière professionnelle active. Dans les années 1960, je jouais du saxophone au sein de groupes de Rhythm & Blues, ce qui m’a permis de financer mes études universitaires. Bien que la vie m’ait éloigné de la scène, je n’ai jamais totalement abandonné mon instrument. Voici quelques-unes des pièces que j’ai enregistrées— j’espère qu’elles sauront vous séduire.
