When I'm 64

關於薩克斯風(Saxophone)，最近長了一點知識:

1. 薩克斯風是近代發明的樂器，發明人為Adolphe Sax(1814-1894)；
2. 依音域範圍不同，薩克斯風分很多種，如高音薩克斯風(Soprano Saxophone)、中音薩克斯風(Alto Saxophone)、次中音薩克斯風(Tenor Saxophone)、上低音薩克斯風(Baritone Saxophone)等等；
3. 吹奏需要一些肺活量，嘴不夠大、氣不長的話要再練練；
4. 每次使用後要清潔吹奏時留下的水氣與唾液，以免樂器生鏽或留下水斑。

The Beatles的歌曲，很俏皮的旋律，大量運用薩克斯風作為伴奏。

When I get older losing my hair,

Many years from now,

Will you still be sending me a valentine

Birthday greetings bottle of wine?

If I'd been out till quarter to three

Would you lock the door,

Will you still need me, will you still feed me,

When I'm sixty-four?

You'll be older too, (ah ah ah ah ah)

And if you say the word,

I could stay with you.

I could be handy mending a fuse

When your lights have gone.

You can knit a sweater by the fireside

Sunday mornings go for a ride.

Doing the garden, digging the weeds,

Who could ask for more?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me,

When I'm sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage

In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear

We shall scrimp and save

Grandchildren on your knee

Vera, Chuck, and Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,

Stating point of view.

Indicate precisely what you mean to say

Yours sincerely, Wasting Away.

Give me your answer, fill in a form

Mine for evermore

Will you still need me, will you still feed me,

When I'm sixty-four?

Whoo!
