Got to admit, if I didn’t have family, I would dearly love to do something as wacky as that. There have been many times, in the recent past, where I’ve just wanted to pack things up and move to a remote island somewhere in the South Pacific that has there own little musical society and play/teach bassoon all day long. Recently, I’ve been doing some Internet searches on bassoon-things: looking to see what other bassoonists I’ve known over the years are doing (sadly, not much – we’re a dying breed), reed making, instruments, latest recordings, etc. I’ve got to admit, I enjoy them too – sometimes its about the only thing that I enjoy doing and that takes my mind off of everything else that’s going on. After all, I haven’t chatted much about music lately and thought it might be fun to do a mini-series on the topic. Interestingly, this is inspired by some of my students (I don’t have many but then again, there simply aren’t many to begin with) who seem to be enjoying their lessons. Once again, it’s very late and insomnia is setting my schedule for me so I thought I’d create an entry on bassoons.
