We've got the blues!

Jenna has decided to play the saxaphone for the school band! Can anyone say, "earplugs". I think that my neice Madison did a Science Experiment on which brand of ear plugs blocked the most noise. I will have to get the results from her! Can you send those to me Madison??

New Saxaphones retail for $2,ooo.oo. Jeff looked and looked for used ones and they were still $500-$700! He was moaning to his friend Tom from Prudential that he was trying to find a Sax but they were all so expensive, and Tom said, "Hey, I think we have one that we'll sell you!" Imagine that! Yep, Alice, Tom's wife, was just about to put an ad in the newspaper trying to sell this sax that her daughter had played in High School. So she brought it to Prudential and said she would sell it for $300! It's a deal! We took it to the music store to get reeds and have it checked over and the man there said it was in GREAT condition and if they were selling it, they would sell it for $700! Thank you God for a great deal!

p.s.- do you get the pun in the title?

p.s.- since publishing... I have heard from The Scientist. (ok-so actually her mother) She said that the experiment showed that mini-marshmallows blocked the sound just as well as name brand ear plugs. But...she warned me not to try and eat the marshmallows after I used them! Thanks for the warning!!!

Have a good one!

Madison's science experiment showed that mini-marshmallows jammed in your ears blocked as much sound as the foam kind that you buy at the store. ....just don't be tempted to eat them after the music lesson is done! : )

Yay Jenna! Good choice. I played the sax in school too! I always wanted the trumpet though. Good luck!
