OMG, aelthric! I laughed so much I almost cried. Sorry but I did.  ;D

Anyway, how was it after that "incident"? (LOL again) Did you enjoy it? Is it difficult?

It happens to the best of us Aelthric.

One of my all time legends of the saxophone and someone I've seen many times is David Sanborn.  I'm sure I don't need to tell you anything about him in regards to lung capacity and he still had one of the most successful careers a musician could have.

Good luck with your endeavour friend.

Lol, thanks aelthric, that made me smile.  And David Sanborn is a phenomenal sax player.  Denis Deblasio is another good one.  I got to see him perform a workshop at a Jazz band competition when I was in high school.  He also played jazz flute and hummed the harmony into a mic.  I was blown away.

What a noble instrument.  And there is so much you can do with it, once you take the packing off.

I played clarinet for 8 years and really like the sounds of woodwinds.  When I started listening to jazz, alto sax became one of my favorite solo instruments.  Good luck with the lessons.  That sounds really satisfying.

That was funny.  I bet my lung capacity is diminished too but I'm planning to fix that up with swimming.
