Oh yeah...reeds...yeah.
I wonder what all these buttony things do?
Look, pigs must have flown today, I am actually practicing. Oh yeah, I actually enjoy this, I keep on forgetting.
Yes I did it, I finally dusted it off and put it together, I guess I have thinking about it quite a bit lately and finally decided that with my obscene amount of down time (when I am home) I might as well be productive...go figure. I forgot how much I actually enjoy playing, isn't that funny. I was relived to find that I didn't forget at all how to play. I even played for an hour before my lips completely gave out. In bike terms the way I played today would be the equivalent of taking an entire year off the bike and then clipping in and IMMEDIATELY doing zone 5 sprints for an entire hour. In bassoon terms I instantly played through Rite of Spring followed by Beethoven 4 solo followed by some Marriage of Figaro and now my mouth feels really weird. No long tones in this house!

that's awesome man....good to hear(read) you are getting back into it...keep it up!
I was laughing so hard at the thought. As a former sax player, I totally recognize the feeling.
Dude, keep playing. It'll be good for your sanity. You need that "other side of the brain" stimulation.
Happy to know you are still at it... at least from time to time.
you're fancy
thats really nice wood....
You'll have alot of long trips to practice puckering those lips. Ya know, tons of downtime in the hotels.
Hey, are you doing Cohutta? Inquiring minds want to know...
Joe
