borrow a contrabass flute? and a great bass recorder?

sneaks and hides..... my bulk with just a flute? AARRRggghhhh! anyone got an upright piano I can borrow?

*coughs from dust caused as all flautists run off very quickly to learn piano or double bass*

You learn the piano. Quickly.

Some of the wannabee opera -types that hung out in the coffee shop when I was at college seemed to manage it pretty well - !

(running and ducking...)

aahhh this is scaring me now! why did i start on about a calendar?!
just hope it's not chilly for the next forum users get-together...

I'll do it [she says bravely]

By the way, did I mention that I am a keen player of the Large-Sheet-Of-Metal as made famous by Rolf Harris. You know the instrument - you shake it and it goes "wockawockawocka". A beautiful instrument, it will make a lovely photo for the calendar. By the way, I play the Bass version, which is the Very-Large-Sheet-Of-Metal.

I'm happy to kick the calendar off and be Miss January, coz that's my birthday month.

One down 11 to go.

Shall I be Miss December then (my birthday month)??

Hmmm a good excuse to get the viola I keep being tempted by, its a little bigger than the violin (I think treble recorder would not cover the necessary, even though the necessary in my case does not take too much covering (soz, too much information I fear))

Can't see any guys out there vcolunteering???

I'll volunteer for June.

Come on,guys,where are you?

Looks like I'd better get saving for a contrabass clarinet to hide behind!

So what month are you and the contrabass going for Deborah??

Yes, good excuse to get a viola.... can just imagine the response if you tell people why though

Katyjay: good solution - or double bass!




Amber: hmmm, sounds like a good instrument to take up, let me just go check Yellow Pages...

I'll maybe settle for a full score of the 40-part motet.

But is there room for the other 39 behind it too???

I'm going to invest in one of those 7-manual organs and stand behind it!

Now that is an unfortunate juxtaposition of ideas.

Definitely not!

Andante!!!

LOL! It would be a good cover-up though.

being as though you're all so keen to do this, what musical charaties are going to benefit?

How about "Amber's Treble Recorder plus tuition books Benevolent Fund"?

Amber's Benevolent Recorder Society Money (or ABRSM for short )

Hehehehe, brilliant

LOL!

How about Elliewelly's flute fund (so I can give back the one I've been borrowing for 4 years )

Could be used for framing !

Sorry I dont believe I said that ....

This thread is becoming very saucy!!!

I would but Iam 25 stone of quivering muscle !

Would need a big harp with solid strings!

Triple harp?

Reminds me of that Dud and Pete sketch..... we could always thread a bit of gauze between the strings in the right places.

I have turned very queezy all of a sudden LOL...

Surely there's a guy out there who would LOVE to pose with a didgeridoo....

cripes. what happens if someone blows it [the didgeridoo] while the person's posing?

There must be some percussionist out there that we could use as a sex cymbal....

now this is a family forum.....

erm ... model gets the wind?

Quivering muscle! Love it!



*tries and fails to find appropriate smiley*


Very good!

If no-one else volunteers, I'll poke the head over the top of my piano for the October photo! *runs to shop and buys mask*

yes absolutely, it was goin along nicely until halfway down page 2 then imaginations got well and truly sparked. should we have the topic deleted?

i've seen photos of indigenous didgeridoo players attired as would not go down well on this forum. true. ah well. to them its natural. they think us besuited lot are barmy.

amber, i'm interested to know what a sex cymbal looks like. is there a photo?

LOL ......

Unfortunately I've never seen one in real life, but apparently they come with a ride and a crash, and the guy wears a high hat.

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

It has never mattered to me that thirty million people might think I'm wrong. The number of people who thought Hitler was right did not make him right... Why do you necessarily have to be wrong just because a few million people think you are?

I don't think there's a problem. First of all, I don't think music turns people into social liabilities. Because you hear a lyric -- there's no medical proof that a person hearing a lyric is going to act out the lyric. There's also no medical proof that if you hear any collection of vowels and consonants, that the hearing of that collection is going to send you to h*ll.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say that there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Let's have a bit of Bowie -

"still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test!"

No let's not. Please. He's ok but not in the same league.
