Dear Mr. *******,

Thank you for taking on this project, and for your contributions to the saxophone pages on Wikipedia.

You are most welcome to use any information, photos, or sound samples from either of my websites. [...] Here are some additional bits of information-

Born June 9, 1975 in Fullerton, CA.

Currently active as a freelance woodwind performer/recording artist and independent scholar based in Seattle, WA. I also work as a counselor in private practice, facilitating stress-relief through guided self-inquiry using "The Work" of Byron Katie.

Just finished a book, "Writing For Saxophones - A Guide to the Tonal Palette of the Saxophone Family for Composers, Arrangers and Performers" soon to be released, will include a CD with recordings of the entire saxophone family from Soprillo through Bb Subcontrabass (Tubax).

All the best to you,

Jay Easton

[edit] Questionable and removal of name

After reading the "go ahead" email copy listed on the talk page here, I feel uneasy. Please remember that as wikipedians, no personal research is allowable and I believe contacting the object of your article here might qualify at the very least, to be a very close skirmish with this rule. Please keep it in mind.

I have removed Jay Easton from the names of examples of multi-instrumentalists because, while Easton may play a variety of saxophones, and similar instruments, there are many other musicians who play a much wider variety that are very different from one another. An example would be Curtis Mayfield, who played guitar, bass, drums, clarinet, saxophone, and keyboards. --leahtwosaints (talk) 03:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
