Hello to all my friends, both from the past and ones I have yet to meet. Dimond High, Class of 1980, the best of times! It was a different time then, no computers, we had to take typing, who knew then that we would ever have to use these keyboard skills.
I loved Band! Still do...UPdate
I'm retired now from the USAF Bands, after 23 years of service having been stationed at Wright-Pat AFB, Ohio. Before that I was stationed at the USAF Band of the Pacific/Asia Yokota AB Japan as a Saxophonist and Noncommissioned Officer, performing with the Pacific Showcase Big-band and Final Approach Rock Band with Horns. We performed Tower of Power, Glenn Miller, Chase, Earth, Wind and Fire, Dizzy and Bird, James Brown, Sammy Nestico, Count Basie and many more! It's still a blast to play Alto and Tenor Saxophone after 42 years. My 20 year old son Noah plays Alto Sax, Electric Guitar and Drums. I met my wife Liz in college at North Texas State University, majoring in Voice and Opera studies. I was a Jazz Performance major,we met in 1983 and got married in 1989. In addition to Sax, I also had to take up the Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Flute, Piano, Guitar, Bass and Drums. My father Bill Koeller, was a legendary local Jazz Organist who performed all over Anchorage,Alaska and also the Quad Cities (Illinois) back in the mid 60's on through the the mid 90's when he passed away. I hear that the local Jazz clubs are now different or totally gone. I haven't been back to Alaska since 1985. I played for the troops at the DMZ living in the tent cities at the 38 parallel in South Korea for Thanksgiving 2003.
I'm lucky to be doing what God wanted me to do. Not all people have a job they love. My wife has taught English as a professional language teacher with 12 Japanese students a week learning english. I'll play my old jazz LP'S on the turntable, and they will ask, "WHAT IS THAT IS FUNNY LOOKING CD?"
I spoke a little Japanese, drove on the Left side of the road and ate with chopsticks. We lived in Japan for 4 years, and the food was fantastic!!Now I'm a music teacher here in Ohio, with about 31 kids. I play in 10 bands and having a blast! God Bless you all Grant
