He asked me what instrument I wanted to learn to play. I looked the pages over and pointed to the coolest looking thing on it--the double bassoon. It was big and had all these curvy tubes and looked like a big old Tonka truck.<br /><br />Anyway, my father consulted with a music teacher and then told me I was too small to play a double bassoon so I would start out with a clarinet. When he showed up with the clarinet it was a huge disappointment. Not surprisingly, I only played for a year or two...Dogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734732193006940173noreply@blogger.com
