Subj: Re: Oboe (and clarinet) Joke !

A few days ago, this joke appeared on KLARINET

>>How does a loud Oboe sound?
>> Baeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeh !

>> And a soft one?
>> B- B- B- B- Baeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeh !

I forwarded it to the double reed list, and several people there wrote to
say that they had enjoyed it. Then, yesterday this one appeared there,
apparently in retaliation:

> How does a loud Clarinet sound?
> phfffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

> And a soft one?
> ppphhhhhffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffheeeeeeeee

Since I sometimes play both oboe and clarinet, about equally ineptly, I
would say that both are too often true. ;-)
