names
04-20-08Some people give their instruments names. Some people give their teddy bears names. Some people give even their pencils and pens names! (Tell me if you actually do. I don’t know anyone yet but I’m guessing there are people like that out there…)
So I’m going to be part of "some people", and give the bassoon a name. Finally. It is now calllllleeeddd…
*drum roll*…
"U-tube"!!!!
This is because the bassoon literally has a U-tube at the boot joint. And since I spend more time on it than other people do on Youtube (or rather, I should be doing so!), I figured I might as well have my own so as not to feel left out. Gives a whole new meaning to "What are you doing now?" "Oh I’m on U-tube" indeed, doesn’t it?
The sad thing, however, is that this is not going to be my permanent U-tube. This is because it belongs to the NTU Symphonic Band. It’s only a predecessor to the actual U-tube… so maybe I should think about calling it "T-tube" instead?… Because "T" comes before "U" in the alphabet… Hmmm…
Well, at least this is a better name than the ones I gave my terrapins…
Right?
