Has anyone ever heard the joke..."He's so good he probably sleeps with his horn?"  Well, call me extra zany but I've actually been trying it!  I know it sounds wierd but it really helps me focus on my music.  Think about it, the first thing I wake up next to is my horn, so instantly I start thinking about the practicing I need to be doing.  It's also the last thing I'm thinking about before I go to bed.  Maybe I'm learning through osmosis but I've really been improving the last couple weeks.  I would reccommend this to any serious musician.  Are there any closet horn sleeper-withers out there that want to confess???
