A saxophonist should routinely clean the mouthpiece to keep it sanitary and unobstructed. The neck and body of the saxophone should be regularly wiped with a swab to remove moisture, and the outside of the instrument should be polished a few times a year to remove the watermarks and grime.
Spotsylvania County, Virginia. Following the Battle of the Wilderness, Grant marched the Union army south with the hope of capturing Spotsylvania Court House. Lee's Confederates, however, managed to get ahead of the Federals and block the road. For the next two weeks, the two armies slugged it out in some of the fiercest fighting of the Civil War.
On July 1, early Union success faltered as Confederates pushed back against the Iron Brigade and exploited a weak Federal line at Barlowâs Knoll. The following day saw Lee strike the Union flanks, leading to heavy battle at Devil's Den, Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, Peach Orchard, Culpâs Hill and East Cemetery Hill. Southerners captured Devilâs Den and the Peach Orchard, but ultimately failed to dislodge the Union defenders. On the final day, July 3rd, fighting raged at Culpâs Hill with the Union regaining its lost ground. After being cut down by a massive artillery bombardment in the afternoon, Lee attacked the Union center on Cemetery Ridge and was repulsed in what is now known as Pickettâs Charge.
