It's time for a new challenge over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and the optional twist is: "Laughter!" Now, that should lighten our days ahead!
As many of you might know who read many of my blog posts, I was a musician in my real life. I don't do any playing anymore due to life circumstances, but I still teach. It seems everyone in my family plays oboe or trumpet and we marry into those instruments. It's weird, but true!
I can tell you the oboist is truly an unusual personality type! Truest of the Type A's; serious by nature; actually enjoys the scales and exercises. Yeah, lots of fun! hahahaha Oboists have to practice all the time...everyday! When they aren't practicing, they are making reeds. The mood of the oboist is always reliant on the reeds in his/her box. Bad reeds = a bad day! My prof used to say, "A reed a day keeps the psychiatrist away!"
On that note...

OMGosh this post is so funny! I love your card! I remember those reeds when I played clarinet in the fourth grade for a very short period of time. Not my fav instrument...I played piano! Thanks for playing with Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Fun sentiment and great oboe. My life is filled with a trumpet player. I could listen to him all day every day. :)
