 The Oboe BBoard

I was sitting in the school auditorium (9th grade) when the music faculty asked - "who wanted to play an instrument?". So I went down to the basement and took a look. On the wall there was a poster of this strange looking instrument.
I didn't know what it was or how it sounded - but it sure looked different. So I chose it. It was an Oboe!
I returned to the instrument at age 40 when my daughter began to play a saxophone at school and I quickly told her to get an Oboe! She became a fine Oboist too. During the first ten years I studied a few minutes here and there with her teachers and I began to play in orchestras again.
These last 4 years I have studied seriously with a wonderful teacher. Now I am the principal player in two community orchestras.
It seems that a good music program at school is so important. Especially - to a blue collar kid from Brooklyn - who knew nothing about music!
