Forum of the Saxes

Besides play the sax...which seems to eat a lot of my time right now...wonder why? Rolling Eyes

Besides practicing sax I usually like to compose small tunes, practice other instruments, and once in a while I like to go fishing, hunting when the seasons are open, and maybe play a game of cards with some un-lucky victim... Twisted Evil

Other than flute and sax practicing, I do various other music things, more homework than I'd like, hang out, go to the gym, sports/outdoors stuff, and so on. Nothin' too interesting.

Does anyone else's band play hacky-sack like there's no tomorrow? Whenever we have a break, we all gather around in a circle and break out a hacky sack

It survived, it just isn't as prominent as it once was. depends on where you are in the world.

I like to do comp related stuff, web design, web graphics, write, play vid games, play sax, eat, sleep, eat some more, sleep some more, work, and I do all this in about a span of 9 hrs(except the sleeping. 7.5/8 is how much I get every day), surf the net, finish schoolwork.

I used to be into graphic arts (had a few clients), but I still do it from time to time. No clients... just for personal enrichment.

I also enjoy creative writing, such as essays (if they are on a topic that I enjoy). Sometimes I'll also break out a book and read. I'm not too into fiction, so I often find myself reading biographies of musicians, like Coltrane, Miles, Parker, and even Count Basie. I've learned so much about them through those books (however, I didn't ever finish the Basie one).
