Notes:



In respose to a thread in March 2002 on the crittersbuggin list about

who the "best" "real" sax player is, "T W" replied:



"The serious shit? Well, yeah I have...it's about as stripped down and

180 degrees from Critters as I have seen-and I see Skerik at least 2-3 times a month.

The show I am referring to happened one Monday night at a tiny bar in the Ballard section of Seattle.

Joe Doria (B3)and John Wicks (drums) were playing a weekly gig at the Sunset Tavern and this night

featured special guests, Craig Flory and Skerik both playing sax. It was a refreshing side of Skerik

I don't usually see - no effects. It's mostly calm grooves, that sometimes build, but don't go too

over the top(a couple Mingus tunes as well). For a few songs, Craig and Skerik were even reading

off of sheet music-I have never seen Skerik do that before. That's about as serious as you can get

in my book. I have attatched a pic of the foursome from that night."
