Hello Mr. Andrews,

Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is George Garzone and I play
tenor saxophone.  Perhaps you have heard of the band I'm in, "The Fringe",
or maybe you know that I'm on the falculty at Berkley College of Music.
Anyway, I was informed by my close personal friend, Gerry Garbonzo, that
you own and play a Balanced Action alto saxophone.  Obviously, a musician
of your caliper can't be bothered with insignificant requests for lessons
and all, but I would be greatly indebted if you would consider taking me
on as a personal student. I am a quick learner, and would greatly 
appreciate anything you would be able to show me about jazz improvisation
or saxophone playing in general.  I, of course, have not actually heard you
play, but I think it goes without saying that when a person chooses to
perform on an instrument such as the Balanced Action, well, I think that 
pretty much speaks for itself.  Not that it matters, but I did purchase 
your book on Non-Tonal jazz improvisation, and, frankly, I found it 
QUITE fresh.  Thank you for your consideration of this request.  

Expectantly,

George Garzone

p.s.  When I was reading your book, I had these strange images of 300 foot
	diameter breasts popping into my head.  I wanted to know if this was 
	normal, or even if it is part of the Non-Tonal approach.

p.p.s.  After I wrote this email, I had these strange images of 4e7 foot
	diameter breasts popping into my head.  I wanted to know if this was
	normal, or even if it is a part of the Non-Tonal approach.
