        I jest from the 90’s, but seriously, in the 1930’s-50’s it was cool.

        If it’s cool again, then all the better for culture.

        My son played tenor sax for a couple years in elementary school and he was naturally amazing in tonal quality. His embouchure was fucking ON POINT num sayin’? Pity he gave up.
