Player's quinte* of the month:  
"The bassoon is one of my favorite instruments. It has a medieval aroma, like the days when everything used to sound like that. Some people crave baseball...I find this unfathomable, but I can easily understand why a person could get excited about playing the bassoon."
-- Frank Zappa

 
Have fun playing! 
 
Sincerely,
 

John Gibson
