I did what I could. The Schooner uses a saxophonist in addition to the two keyboard players (on this gig, I was only playing saxophone), so I played some horn parts along with one of the keyboardists playing the horn parts...I think? It wasn't always easy to hear.
Also, I was on my spare set of saxophones for this, and my tenor had not one but two loose screws that caused all sorts of chaos until I could get it back together. It was the arm that holds G# closed, and the arm over the upper F cup, in case you're wondering. Because of their close proximity, I'm betting I banged that part of my horn on something, probably months ago, and it's just now showing up.
Anyway, except for the heat, it was pretty painless. They served us BBQ for lunch, so I ate the granola bar I keep stashed in my car.

Let's do a finger update! Since the infection opened and the swelling began to recede, things are better. I should be pretty close to normal by this weekend.
