Re-Learning How to Play the Saxophone

Image
    It has been more than 7 years since I played my saxophone on a regular basis. Even then, I only played twice a week  for church services. Maybe you can call it the seven year itch, or maybe it's just the musician/artist within me looking for an outlet for the talent within me.... but I've decided to jump back on the  saxophone recently.      Let's be honest, I really wasn't a piano/keyboard/organ player seven years ago.      My testimony is that God stirred up the little gift within me when my church needed it. My father was a great organist and musician. he understood the meaning behind the notes and how to make different sounds by just changing one note in a chord.

 So, yes I used to play the saxophone. I still have two of them to prove it. both alto and tenor sax. I've always liked the curves and complexity of the sax...yet the sound is so simple and smooth. Here are some pictures i've taken admiring the instrument's beauty.
