Don Wade

Don’s earliest musical influences were radio broadcasts during WW II, the many fine radio orchestras, the Saturday afternoon opera broadcasts from The Met, big band remotes and the many fine classical music broadcasts.  He came out of that era with a love of the great classical music along with the jazz tunes the dance bands were playing.  After a 40+ year career teaching music, theatre, as a high school counsellor and online course developer, Don retired – but has never retired from playing music!  He currently plays soprano, alto and tenor saxes with Sax Among Friends.
