SAXMAJOR RECOVERING FROM KNEE SURGERY 

Performing with pain is never fun.  The last few months was becoming very difficult.  I had the opportunity to reserve a surgery date during my off season.  Total knee replacement requires at least a three month recovery period; therefore, October 17 is my goal to become available for performances. 

I will start performance preparation on September 17.  I plan to accept one hour performance dates starting October 17.  By November 17, I hope to accept two hour performance dates.  I hope to resume my regular schedule of performances starting December 2025.

Just to let you, my knee rehabilitation has been very slow, painful and difficult.  The schedule mentioned above may change for the sooner or later.  I hope to be back in business soon.
