- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

Anytime at home when my spouse has either Oprah or Dr. Phil on the television. But just because I am not allowed, does not mean that I quit playing the whistle, I just go to another room and play louder!
{As an aside, it is wondrous how much squawking a whistle can do when Oprah is pontificating. I know that the purpose of practice is to eliminate squawking but when she is on television, I just cannot help it!}

Brewster MA on Cape Cod. I sat out on a deck at a rented house playing the Brass Burke and a lady about 500 yards downhill called on the phone and threatened to call the police and the "association" for that "flute-thing."
Couldn't I go inside, she said? Wrecked a beautiful morning in a way. My first taste of East Coast hospitality.

In a very old, thus very slow, small elevator in a historic hotel. The place we were to be playing in was a ballroom at the top of the hotel. I went up alone with all the sound equipment (there was no room for anyone else) and started playing. Kind of a cool echo-y sound but a few residents of the hotel were less than appreciative.

I was listening to an article thingy on the radio about the similarities of rap and opera (using sound examples of both). It was really cool, and about the only time I have come close to respecting rap as art music.Chuck_Clark wrote:Rap concerts and operas - possibly the only thing the two have in common.
I would repeat some of it, but I have forgotten most of it.
One quick thing: the guy compared the arias in opera to something similar in a rap song, (a fairly popular one that plays on most radio stations). Like I said, pretty cool, at least from a sort of musicologist point of view.

I work in a library and lots of time you wouldn't be able to hear someone playing the whistle in there, it gets pretty noisy! ... libraries aren't the quiet, stuffy places they once were, at least not the one I work in!
another place that comes to mind...
