I know Tom wrote "bari sax" but for some reason I read "Barry K." That confusion quickly cleared, but for the rest of the story I pictured him playing a "barese saxophone," whatever that would look like (we know how it would sound -- garbled).
But I figure, the guy sporting a barese sax is always going to get the sweet girl at any party, so the rest of Tom's story makes perfect sense to me. May they have a splendid time together.
