Yes, by the last month of Summer, I've had enough. My favorite season is Fall. The air is still warm enough to swim and the ocean is Summer hot. I like to windsurf.Its plenty hot for most of the year

Well, you got me there!But all I'm really saying is that mine's bigger than yours.
Large saxophones are like red sports cars. Alto and soprano are the cool instruments, the ones that don't immediately cause back and shoulder problems in oldsters who seem to be a majority in this home for elderly sax workers. DOn't slip on the ice, you may not be able to get up.Oh well. Maybe you will get a grown-up saxophone one day.
Red sports cars go faster. Everyone knows that. Tenor saxophones are simply better and cooler. altos are just for kids who can't handle the coolness of a Tenor.Large saxophones are like red sports cars.
And are responsible for many accidentals.Red sports cars go faster.
