Music is what my life runs on from day to day. Without music‚ my life would be a lost cause. So all thanks to a German instrument maker and his son‚ the clarinet was created.

There’s a lot of reasons why I chose the bassoon. For one‚ the first time I misread Bassoon for baboon which of course would seem odd to find in an orchestra. Now‚ Don’t get me wrong‚ the bassoon and baboon have a lot in common-well actually‚ other then the red tone the baboon’s bottom shares with the bassoon‚ they have nothing in common‚ so scratch that. The bassoon and baboon have nothing in common; they’re extreme opposites. For instance the bassoon has a deep voice while a baboon makes high
