maribou(from a post elsewhere):
I just got my saxophone out of its case for the first time in about 5 years and I can actually PLAY it. What I thought was a hopeless and sudden lack of ability back then was just the freaking altitude or something. I can play my saxophone again! Dance dance dance dance! Okay, I will grant that it's more like how I could play it at the beginning of tenth grade than the end of 12th, and my fingers don't remember the odd scales anymore, but I can BREATHE! I have an almost respectable TONE and I'm *this* close to being able to run up and down the instrument chromatically without having to breathe at all in the middle and I can play notes for a nice LONG time and work on my tone some more and O BOY O BOY O BOY O BOY!!!!
In conclusion, it's not that I sound good, but that a) I don't sound too awful to stand myself, and b) I sound good enough that I can get to where I sound good again.
This is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in about 3 years that does not involve Jay. Dude.

Date: 2005-01-06 09:55 am (UTC)I'm occasionally tempted to pick up my clarinet from time to time, but I was never very wonderful at it. Still, I find that I am tempted to learn a new instrument. I was contemplating getting a drum set for Christmas, but I was sensible and purchased new tires and new brakes for my car. Bah.
