I recently acquired several vintage saxophones. For the record, I
don't know anything about the instrument. Among them is a Buescher.
It's straight, silver in color and about 22" long. The serial number is
105764, which puts the manufactured date in the early '20's. Inside the
lid of the case is a metal tag that reads "Chas. Parker's Band House,
Houston, Texas". I know just enough about Jazz to know that Charlie
Parker is "the man", at least in some circles. But searching the web I
can find no connection between Charlie Parker and Houston, Texas. Does
anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks!

Steve
