100 Reasons to play the whistle

Post by mutepointe »

1. There are no strings to change. I am in the middle of changing the strings on my 12 string acoustic guitar.

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.

2. A whistle weighs approximately a thousand times less than the drum stuff I lug around.
