Eeek! A truly scary thought. When I was playing, I could manage quite
well with the pic, flute, all the clarinets and saxes. However, when I
brought it home from university over a weekend, my oboe scared the cat away
for a week and I never had enough thumbs to play the bassoon well. <g>
(Since surgery on my diaphram, I can no longer play the flute. <sigh>)
