RE: The Wack Instrumentalist

Even though all the guitars and drums have always been the instruments of fascination from a young age, there was something about the saxophone that really caught my attention as I got older; slowly climbing the list of the instruments I always wanted to learn how to play.

I did learn to play a "novice tune" with the guitar as I kept on strumming from a very young age; around fifth to seventh grade I became quite an accurate "replicator" of the tunes that I absolutely loved. Yet, it all ended right there, at beginner level.

Now, who doesn't love the guitar? Or the power that a set of drums can project when played vigorously? Almost anyone and everyone appreciates a good ole classic strum and a powerful beat on the drums.

But as I grew older I started to appreciate the saxophone and saxophonists a lot more.

Maybe it's because you can just feel the tune a bit more, where the instrument and instrumentalist act as one, same for the tune and the listener. As you're playing the sax or even when you're listening to it, the vibe it gives off is just pure, ecstatic; especially when an experienced instrumentalist is playing.
