January 15, 2006 - I had my one day of serious work today, playing lots of music and working at the auction. This was the first day I was able to attend the first day of the auction from the start. There is a large group on the ship this week that reserved the Vista Lounge when we normally have our Rockin' Road rehearsal, so we had to rehearse earlier, giving me time to eat lunch and man my post at the auction. Later in the evening, during the second Captains Cocktail Reception, one of my keys started sticking. I didn't think much of it because it was on the tail end of the performance, so I made it through the songs with no one noticing. But then before Rockin' Road I tried repairing the sticky key and it didn't do anything. In fact, it got worse the more I worked on it. After Rockin' Road I took my sax back to my room, got out my screwdriver kit, some q-tips, and papertowels, and tried cleaning the key and pad, but it didn't solve the problem. I'm going to have to hope that it was a humidity issue and that it will work itself out, but if it doesn't, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble the next time I have to play my sax.
