My Son.... The Bass player has taken up a new interest and has just got back from his first Saxaphone lesson and is in his room practicing. The cats are horrified! Seems they hate this worse than the vacuum cleaner. So do I ! ARRRGHH!
I love the sound of a sax. I know what you mean, though...my son plays the trumpet. When he plays in the house it is SO LOUD! But at the concerts...the sound is so beautiful. There is nothing like watching your child be a small part of a beautiful song....
hahaha. my brother took up the tuba in elementary school for a little while. He didn't have any natural flair, and the noise was so bad my mom made him play the violin instead! (it wasn't much better.)
