It took me nearly two weeks to get over this illness that I had.  I’m glad it is over with now, and I was able to play my saxophone  again for the first time since I came down  with it.  I was pleasantly surprised by the results.  I actually ended up having to stop practicing for a reason other than my mouth giving out.  I played longer than I had ever done in the past.  Now the tone wasn’t perfect, there were issues here and there, but overall it sounded fairly well.  Tomorrow I’ll have to set a timer before I start playing and see how long my practice session actually lasts.

Basically today I went over a variety of scales and arpeggios of the G Major scale, the played a number of melodies while my baby boy sat on the couch and listened.  My lung capacity isn’t quite back where it needs to be so I ran out of breath a few times, but I think I did fairly well on that too.   Tomorrow I think I’ll add the C Major scale along with the G Major scales to my practice session and see how it goes.
