I thought I might try a new avatar on you all - one that is somewhat symbolic of our drive to have our playing as centered as musically possible. It also represents one of my other passions - big aluminium tubes, full of people, powered by great big engines.

This avatar represents my need to be centered - body centered - mouthpiece centered - mind centered - ensemble centered, or am I being a little too cerebral.

If this B747-338B aircraft had NOT been centered it may have drifted off the very, very, narrow runway and into the scrub and bulldust of Longreach, Queensland. Notice that the inboard engines are dangling over the grass verge too. This Qantas airplane is now on permanent display at Longreach - the runway length is well represented by the width shown in this photo, and in proportion. The aircraft is now not able to take-off because the "strip" is too short.

Should I return to the Getzen 700SP and the Aussie National Flag for my avatar?
