Subj: Re: [kl] flavored reeds
Date: Mon, 19 May 2003 23:30:28 -0400

A little over a year ago on ebay, I saw this huge display of flavored reeds
for sale. It had like 200 reeds of several different flavors. I can't
remember all of them, but there was cherry, grape, pina collata, coconut,
bubble gum, banana... just to name a few. I almost bought it. I thought if
anything I could sell them to the maroons in my band if I didn't like them
because they play on the same reed for 6 months at a time until it rots and
falls apart. I'm not kidding either. I actually get made fun of for buying
decent reeds and having more than one.

Anyway, I can not figure out the brand of these reeds. I figured I would use
them in marching season because I am going to pretend like I forgot how to
play mellophone. I am getting sick of the dictator trying to dictate me. I
plan to tell him tomorrow that I am going to play the oboe and there is
nothing he can do to stop me.
