    I've stolen my UserName from the music composer/conductor Michael Kamen. He creates cool movie themes and has worked together with Metallica a lot.

    Kamen is awesome


    My User Name is derived from my old AIM screen name, The Guitar Hobo. I used to admire those homeless bums who'd sit around and play guitar for money. Some of those dudes could lick a nice tune, so as a tribute to them, I made that screen name.

    I guess it's just something that stuck around.

    I didn't know we had so many sax players here

    I've been playing for 8 years now. I started with alto for 4 years, then tenor for 4 years.

    In high school I was 1st chair for the last two years of the wind symphony (we had two bands that you auditioned for, one for the better players, one for the...less better players. Wind symphony being the better one).

    I was also tenor sax soloist for two years on the jazz band, which was awesome.

    Now I just play on the side every once and awhile.

    I play in a wind orchestra for four years now, and all older alt sax players have left, and only newbies have joined, so now I'm first alto sax... Before saxophone I played piano, but it became boring....................

    I played the trumpet way back when, but had to stop when it got taken away from me.

    Axion:
    The axion is a hypothetical elementary particle proposed to explain the absence of an electrical dipole moment for the neutron.
    The axion has no electric charge, no spin, and interacts with ordinary matter (electrons, photons, quarks, etc.) only very weakly. Even though the axion -- if it exists -- should have only a tiny mass, axions would have been produced abundantly in the Big Bang, and relic axions are an excellent candidate for the dark matter in the universe.

    Well, I put some letters into a hat, and then pulled a couple out, arranged them in some sort of order, and inserted vowels at appropriate places. The End.
