      5) a few useful tips.
      Sax isn’t spelt Sex, unless the lights are out.
      If you’ve got something on your mind, strip off and blow
      it out your …. Sax.
      If a lady enters the room, stand up with your sax.
      If you’re out at sea, take a tenor sax with you instead of a sick bag,
      they hold a lot more.
      Switch to playing an Alto, Tenors have had their day, roll over Beethoven.
      If you’re wondering what a scot’s man wears under his quilt, it might not be a soprano.
      people down under sound different on the sax, they hold the sax upside down.
      Never lend your sax to Saxomonica, something about bum licking?

          @Simon – no problems, i just can’t take Saxomonica’s comments seriously,
          it’s all Latin to me, pardon my french, half the time it’s like talking in
          riddles. lol

          He probably swears at me in Latin. lol

          Sorry Saxomonica, you’re hilarious.

            6) Hey. Wear ear plugs when you practice, the sax is LOUD and you will hear a certain resonance in your head (this is why you oft see blokes singing with their finger stuck up their ear). Thus. Save your ears to listen later.

            C’mon ozzie c’mon @simon #GetWithTheProgram @WakeUpAustralia – howz about you get caught in The Crossfire ?

                8) Don’t always expect feedback from people when you do an upload, if you can’t be bothered to give them feedback when they do an upload.

                9) When you do an upload, upload it in a new thread, don’t gate crash someone elses upload like an elephant.

                10) beware of websites offering short cuts to master different areas of the sax, no such shortcut exists.

                  11) Leave your sax out in a stand, and pick it up often. Practice fingering exercises when watching television, say. Try rolling yout tounge and growling / humming at that same time.

                  John Coltrane used to practice his sax quietly at many oft times this way, that is without blowing the reed. If this ideas does not turn you then maybe you could try blowing your trumpet? In the cupboard?

                  12)Practce often – some small attempts through the day is ok. But get up and do your regular sax practice first thing before breakfast. Minimum of ten minutes but twenty is far better! 😀
