 Re: Why oboe?

8 yrs old in Primary school, and Mr. W the headmaster has us all sitting in assembly in our little grey uniforms, crossed arms, crossed legs ...

"Last year you all learned to play recorder. This year, you can start learning other musical instruments. We have a limited number of instruments. As an example, we have two flutes. If eight children choose flute, each child will be able to take it home .. yes Jane? Correct! once every four days...

"There are two flutes. Who wants to play flute?" About twenty hands went up - so I put mine down.
"There are two oboes. Who wants to play oboe?" A quick glance at the competition - about six hands in all - I raised mine.

Three weeks later, I was keeping one oboe at home, and using the other one in my music lesson at school. The rest, as they say, is history ...
