          @ Johnny–cool, hope you enjoyed your vacation…I’m very jealous too. Reading how you mentioned you’re just getting back into it makes me think of my own situation of just getting back into it, funny timing of things 🙂
          @ Mel-have fun with it and enjoy it all, that’s what it’s all about. When something happens to you like it happened to me, it makes you realize just how much fun you have playing Saxophone 🙂

            I did a gig last Sunday so that was the first time I played my sax in almost 2 months.
            the only complaint i had was my inside bottom lip got a little sore the next day… and that was most likely from
            the altissimo screaming. other than that I felt great. after playing for over 30 years has it’s rewards I guess!

              yes it does have its rewards, being able to pick up your Sax and play a gig without having played for 2 months, that’s crazy. For someone like me, let 2 months go by without playing like what has happened recently and it’s like I got a little work to do LOL The good news is that, even after the last few months of not being able to play and just now recuperating, on my first practice I was still able to hit Altissimo notes at will and with full control, awesome sign to say the least….that was until my Instructor stepped in and said to lay off of those notes for at least another month LOL My excuse is that I couldn’t help myself, what can I say? (LOL) I only did it the one time and it was enough for me to see that I’m on my way back to playing 🙂 I’m thinking when my Oral Cavity says I’m ready, my first upload will be your song of “Harlem Nocturne”..it’s really great for rebooting the embouchure, air support, tuning, articulation, etc.. I haven’t forgotten any of the notes to your songs, it’s just the other stuff that is lacking a little due to not playing….only wish I could pick up the Sax and play a gig after 2 months of not playing like you can…I’m very jealous to say the least LOL
