good for you! I've been playing for 35 years now and it's still the most fun thing I do...keep with it..all it takes is patience, perserverence and practice...and remember to RELAX!..it's supposed to be fun..you've got a lot of good times ahead of you.
welcome back to the world of saxophones!
i can't help but to emphasize what chalazon said--relax! The sax is your practice partner and your friend--one that you don't owe money to or owes you money!
and (better late than never!) happy birthday!
I took the liberty of naming my saxophones. It's a good idea to treat your saxophone as if it were a real person. Take good care of it, or suffer the consequences of bad tone, or an empty wallet.
