Inch By Inch:
In battling the brass, There is no fast and furious, Only incremental improvement, A microfraction every day, Slowly getting better, Like a snail catching on, Each note dragged out by it's squeaking hairs, Yet the however is simple and stark, I'm still moving up hill, And if it takes me years, I will play yet someday, I will win the sweet battle, Of buttered brass and reed.

'Elle - maybe I'll record a practise session to mp3 and post it for you - but I am not that good yet. I'm still learning my first song and I'm just getting to the point where I can almost play every note on the scale but not quickly and not every single time for the highest and lowest. (Those are the toughest on the sax.) The tune I'm learning is called Basie's Blues (yes after Count Basie) and it's really cool.
Thank you...
Dan
