Mandy Lu Beck- Tenor & Baritone Saxophones, Flute

and Vocals

Life for me began when I was nine. That's when I began playing my flute.   When I was about 13 years old I started taking lessons with the best teacher ever (Mr. John Lynch) and quickly realized that I loved playing my instrument more than anything. Life got really exciting for me during my college years as I majored on what many feel is the sexiest instrument ever- the bassoon. Then it all came together a few years ago when I began playing the sax. One of the major factors attracting me to music is that I am not allergic to it, as I am to most everything else in the world. I have a very sophisticated sense of humor.   For instance, I find poop very funny.  Strangely enough though, I am the person in the band least likely to be pooping. I currently get through my days on a combination of Claritin-D, two different steroid inhalers, Slim Jims and pastries.   I'm a Taurus, which explains my violent moods swings and paranoia.  I think next to El Mustango, Mike Myers may be the hottest man alive.

I like a ton of music, but I wont bore you with a long list. If you've taken
the time to read about me, then that's the least I could do! I'm keeping it to
my top ten; music that I couldn't live without and had a significant impact

on me.
