Homer and Bart watch a TV movie called The Krusty the Clown Story: Booze, Drugs, Guns, Lies, Blackmail and Laughter, but they keep getting interrupted by Lisa playing her saxophone in her bedroom.

Bart enters Lisa's bedroom and tries to grab the saxophone from her but he inadvertently tosses it out the window. It lands in the middle of the street and is run over by a car and a truck. In a period of mourning, Lisa reveals she cannot remember ever not having that saxophone, so Homer recounts the instrument's origins.

In a flashback to 1990, Bart goes to his first day of school, but things do not go so well for him. Bart's initial enthusiasm was crushed by an uncaring teacher and he drew a violent sketch of his feelings. Marge became worried that something was truly wrong with him. It was during discussions of Bart's future that the school psychologist realized the young Lisa completed a complicated puzzle of Taj Mahal.

They tried to send Lisa to a private school but the tuition fee cost $6,000. Meanwhile, a terrible heat wave hit Springfield and Homer saves $200 to buy an air conditioner. An air conditioner is an Appliance, System, or mechanism designed to extract Heat from an area via a Refrigeration cycle Marge asks Homer not to buy one until they figure out how to help Lisa.

Meanwhile, Homer discovers that a musical instrument is a way to encourage a gifted child. He sacrifices his air conditioner money to buy Lisa her first saxophone. He asked the clerk to engrave on the sax: "Dear Lisa. Never forget your daddy loves d'oh!", as Homer drops the saxophone on his foot. In the present, Homer complains that the house has had no air conditioner for many years, but decides to buy another saxophone for Lisa.

Production

"Lisa's Sax" is the first episode that Al Jean had ever been credited as having written by himself.

"The Way We Was" was the first flashback episode and in it, Homer graduated from high school in 1974 and that made it difficult to have a realistic timeframe as this episode is set in 1990.

Doris Grau ( October 12 1924 - December 30 1995) was an American actress script supervisor and voice actress Springfield Elementary School is a fictional school on The Simpsons, attended by Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson and other Springfieldian children It would also mark the final time the character would speak until Season 18's "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer" when she was voiced by Tress MacNeille.
