Skiz did a fantastic job with this one! It's the happier follow up to Oceans haha. It's based off of "Live It Well" by Switchfoot and "When The Fight Calls" by Hillsong Young & Free. 
I love this song and it's been on my mind lately. Today I graduated from Auburn University and begin to the next steps of life. There's a lot going on and a lot to say about that haha but this is one of them!

Life is short I wanna live it well.

I just got a Les Paul and a Fender Acoustic. Those mustang amps are awesome.
I am learning those as well as my Conn Alto Sax and Yamaha YTS-52 Intermediate sax. Also threw a euphonium into the mix.

I just have a little Fender DG8s I picked up for like $50 at a yard sale. It's all right, but you cannot beat it for that price.

I also have a Les Paul and a Telecaster, and am looking at a Strat.

Oh yeah. Teaching myself now.
I have a fender mustang amp, an Epiphone Les Paul Special II, a Squier Affinity Telecaster, and a Fender DG8S acoustic I picked up for 50.

I also play saxophone. I have an old Conn alto I picked up for 200 and a Yamaha YTS-52 Tenor (Beautiful horn).

Also dabble with the Euphonium.

You play any other instruments? I bet you own a ton of guitars. I have a coworker who owns like 32 guitars. XD

Dang xD
Seems like a requirement to live in Nashville haha.

I have a Taylor 714, Schecter Stargazer bass, and an Epiphone Les Paul. My dad has a ton of guitars including a custom Gibson J-45!

I love piano and singing! I've got a Yamaha M0X8 full 88 weighted keys. Most of what I have is software honestly. I love recording.

I still have an old version of cakewalk and an M audio 25 key midi keyboard. It still works on windows 10. I used to play piano but was never that good. Saxophone is mainly getting your lip muscles strong enough.
Yeah, the Epiphone and Squire cannot be beaten for the price, especially if you don't know if it's something you will get serious about or not. There are decent guitars for around or less than 100.
Unfortunately with saxophones you get what you pay for, and if you don't know what you are doing you may end up buying something in need of $500 worth of repairs. My intermediate was 1200 with a one year warranty. Most pro level stuff is anywhere from 2k to 15k, with many of the custom Zs being like 3-6k. The Selmer MK VI are silly in price, averaging like 6k and often hitting 9 or 10k or more. Saxophones also need new pads after a while and that gets expensive. They are beautiful sounding horns, though, and the keying is very linear and easy to remember (aside from the sharps/flats). They are keyed in E flat for alto and B flat for tenor, so you have to transpose if not playing music written for a sax and playing in a band with other instruments for concert C.

I may look into a cheap strat. I need to get serious if I am going to buy an American standard (they have a used American Standard Deluxe for 810 at my local guitar center). Need to see if my fingers can key well enough and my tendinitis doesn't prevent me from playing (50-60 hours of computer work a week have hosed my hands/elbows).

Technically the saxophone is a woodwind I believe! Haha

That's really cool. I love instruments and transposing is fun ^^

Yes, Saxophone is a reed instrument. But you can call it a horn, which it technically is. It is not, however, a brass instrument.

Dude! I just picked up a Fender Stratocaster for $325 out the door! This thing looks beautiful! Now if only my tendinitis and carpal would clear up and I got half a second from work where I am not tired (currently at work around 11 hours a day).

Hey, how have you been otherwise? Please don't be a stranger; I don't want to lose contact with you.

On an unrelated note, you know of any furry conventions in the southeast? I probably won't get to take PTO this summer but I have contemplated going to at least one sometime.

Keep looking!
Remember, if you can get your foot in the door you have a good chance of landing a good position.

I miss hearing from you.
