try learning to play the tenor(or any of the sax's). u will experience the exhilaration of "flying while on the ground" yourself. still works for me all these years(since 1965??)playing on a superior instrument, with berg larsen metal or ebonite mouth piece & ricco royal reeds, makes it easier and more enjoyable, more challenging too.jamming w/the greats still is a thrill
