that was truly impressive. I like how his pinky is still looking for certain fingerings that aren’t physically there. I dig the arrangement too. Only you Sharolyn. This is becoming one of your assignments, yes?
Perhaps an assignment for myself, but I am less graceful than this man in the first thirty seconds and would likely drill off a section of my finger. This truly demonstrates how the vibration of the reed creates the sound, and nothing else. The rest is just making the air travel and longer or shorter distance. Thank you. You are now ready for the third grade music test. :)

This is way less destructive than the Watermelon Drums.

Okay, that’s awesome. It reminds me of Chad’s favorite John Lennon misquote from the movie Departed:
“John Lennon said, ‘I’m an artist. Ya gimme a f**k’ng tuba, I’ll get ya something out of it.’”

Am I misquoting Lennon, or the movie?

The movie misquotes Lennon.

Ah. Ok. Well, it’s still an awesome quote.

Actually, I’m in favor of any quote that allows me to drop an F-bomb with a faux-Boston accent.
