Former Band Member: Jon Hassan, Baritone Saxophone

Jon's been playing the sax for over 30 years, and played in Europe for several years while a member of the Army. He plays all of the saxes, and especially loves the baritone. He also plays the flute, bassoon, and, somewhat grudgingly, the clarinet.

Jon is a machinist in the "real world."
