I am a 41 years old and well I don't believe in you cant teach an old dog new tricks, BUT I do believe that I can learn the Alto Saxophone I have learned Happy Birthday already and with no help other than my wife and brother tell me I was hitting the wrong notes at first but I got it I just need a partner to have fun with it helps with my head aches so I like to play as much as I can, That and it s fun!
