I was above-average on the clarinet but hopeless with the sax (both the alto and tenor). My instructor actually recommended I leave the sax behind after only nine months of lessons.
I owned all of my instruments but have since gotten rid of every one. (I gave up the trombone to pursue drama club opportunities, which became my artsy obsession through most of high school and undergrad. I could never quite match my skill with the clarinet, and that frustrated me enough to give up on instruments entirely. I was successful in theater, so it wasn't a total wash.)

I started with the clarinet with the intent to become a sax player. I had been inspired by Billy Joel -- the sax solos in some of his numbers (Italian Restaurant comes to mind) were just so mesmerizing. The clarinet felt to me like a professional instrument, but the saxophone was more artistic...it could be more romantic, more inspiring, and more improvisational. If you're half as good as you portray yourself, you're very lucky.

How experienced are you with your beloved saxophone?
I ask in part because I used to play myself. (Well, for one year. I started with the Clarinet throughout elementary and middle school, and tried the saxophone for one year before moving on to the trombone. I was also terrible. But that is aside from the point.)

happy birthday

I'm writing on your wall. Mwhahaha!

Woah, I have a message board? This is new...for me anyways...
I was busy I guess, summer isn't the time where I'm mostly in front of a computer.

You've been gone for like, 2 months. What happened?
