In 4th grade I took up clarinet, but gave it up three years later when I got braces. Too much metal in my mouth.
In my early 20s I found a saxophone at a yard sale. They were offering free lessons at a school in Chicago for anyone who passed a music reading test. But by then my vision was failing and I couldn't read sheet music, so I failed the test.
Now I can make noises on a single-reed instrument, but jumping in a band and following along with the sheet music is out of the question, and Rasaan Roland Kirk I am not.
