I am an aspiring saxophonist. I'm going to be the greatest saxophonist ever! My heroes are Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Michael Brecker, and David Sanborn. I practice as much as I can with a 9 to 5 job but I have the determination to practice 12 to 15 hours per day, I just don't have the time. My goal is to become financially independent so that I can practice 15 hours a day for 4 years and become the greatest sax player of all time. I play a Yanagisawa professional alto sax and a Jupiter semi-pro alto as well. I would appreciate any contributions. I will record songs to show my progress and I will post them on the internet in the future. If your contribution is enough to cover my costs, I will be more than happy to burn you a cd of my playing and send it to you. I made the recordings at home a couple of years ago and they feature me playing many standard songs. The cd will be a collector's item when I make it big. Please send any contributions to:

Thank you!

hahahaha So you´re telling me you can afford TWO saxophones but you can´t be bothered to make a web page letting us hear those songs you recorded two years ago??? You can´t be that confident in your playing skills then!!

The funny part to me is:

What if he went 24/7 for 12 years and the fella still was only mediocre at best? Wouldn't that be a bummer now?

I'd have to check the Musician's Official Rulebook - but I believe the requirement is 20 hours/day for 8 years to attain the "Greatest" certificate. Errr..No, wait, that's for certification of "Greatest" on the oboe.

Of course, it could be that maybe my copy of the

Musician's Official Rulebook doesn't have the latest update for "All Time Sax Great" requirements.

Perhaps changing the subject to "Sex Phonist" would get more replies :aua
