Matt! It's great to hear from you!
I got my wife that Yamaha WX5 and the horn synth module. She got to where she could blow a few notes--then broke a wrist--then had carpal tunnel surgery on both sides--then Life happened. It is sitting about 10 feet from me, ready for her when Life lets go of her throat.
A few years later I also got her a beautiful Vito tenor sax. Again, she found her lip--got to where she could blow a few scales--but had to put it down. Living with and taking care of her 90-year-old mother and keeping house takes EVERYTHING, and a bit more. I weep.
But we try to be patient. Hopefully we shall eventually have a life in which we can make music together. That has been my dream all along.
And you? How have you been?
Love,
R.
