John, thank you for your great contribution to Rock and the Saxophone. I was a young teen in the early 70's when I saw Supertramp at the Rivoli theater in Indianpolis (bet you don't remember that gig.) I was a young sax player in an extremely wierd time. You were such an ispiration, you will never know.I walked to the venue. Today, you would be shot, robbed or kidnapped in that same neighborhood.

Supertramp returned to Indy the next year at the Circle Theater. I had an entire troop with me then. What fun! I hope and pray the best for all of you. What a daze or haze all of it was.

I now have 10 year old twin daughters that have signed up to play Alto Sax. Hopefully, like you, they can play with passion from the heart. I had heart and passion but the Devil's distraction. Puff Puff Sounded good at the time.

Take care! Love, your friend and universal neighbor,

Chris G. Greenfield, IN.

[edit] Work with Pink Floyd

I decided to edit the part that talks about his work with Pink Floyd. It said John played saxophone on the song Dogs of War, except for the solo. Actually, there's no saxphone in the song except for the solo, which is obviously the work of Scott Page (another Supertramp alumnus no less.) I left in the bit on Terminal Frost though. I can't prove anything, but I think the solo on that is John, while the soprano sax in the rest of the song is Tom Scott. King Tarkus
