Hi Claire.
already out of bed? What was St. Patricks Day like?  :emot19:

[Claire Mc Cullagh]

Had to be good - Went out on Friday night for a party - faided at about 2.

Then on Saturday our two neighbours came around for a drink - I think it was about 3:30 and litre bottle of vodka later, and that was just me.  They were on the rum.  Had to get up at 7 and make Breakfast - full Belfast Fry , Yum Yum
Didn't have a drink yesterday - had to be a sencible Mommy.  Spent the day with the kids and took them to see there grannies and grandads.  But will make up for it this easter weekend.

At OPS, they never ever gave me an instrument to play, the cool kids got to play a xylophone (spelling) and us useless kids got a frigging tamborine...hey I came from a musical family and the school stunted my potential.... grrr!

[Claire Mc Cullagh]

could be worse - all I ever got was the spoons at the Braai,  that's the closes to a musical instument I ever got.

You should be glad you didn't have to use one of those wooden flutes (can't remember what they were called in English). They stank >yeach< like >eaugh<  after being gobbeled about 500 times.

[Michael Alexander]

Hey, talking of the spoons, who remembers Roy Fields playing the spoons, man he was awesom, spoons, mouth organ and a trumpet.... thanks for the memory....

George jnr  -  I cannot dig around in my brain for the English names of those flutes you are talking about, but in Afrikaans it is called a 'blokfluit'  - that's the smaller thinner one and the bigger thicker one is called an 'altfluit'.  These days they are made of plastic, but it seems as if the sound does not compare to the old wooden ones. 

Yuk, ja  -  I remember the school had some of them and they were given to the lucky one for the day who had to squeeze out a tune that sounded somewhat like the tune prescribed in the notes!  If you took lessons, mostly you had your own flute.  I still have mine and my daughter Susan used it about 3 years ago when she decided she wanted to take lessons -  she gave it up - her reason:  the thing has a sound like an African bush flute being played by a beer sodden 'tate'.  Told her it was her making it sound like that  -  she stuck to her version and switched to piano lessons.

In German they're called "Blockfloete". So maybe it's blockflute in English. I wasn't sure.
The "music" we made at school in the 70s... $%#*+
My wife plays the block and altflute. She's great at it. If you've got the right techniques...
hahaha. Forget that one. Maybe somebodies getting me wrong...
