Bassoonism

So i was going to blog more about Orlando and I but i decided to discuss Bassoonism. Now bassoonists are interesting people. they tend to be a bit masochistic (OMGIAMEDWARDCULLEN) people because they choose to play an instrument with 17-keys (the heckel bassoon) and that can span four octaves. they also tend to be very weird. I have met many of bassoonists (me included*) and they are all...interesting. We, bassoonists, have no issue with sharing a reed or dropping it in the trash, picking it up, and playing again. We also tend to enjoy very large books*. In general, most bassoonists are nerds. Cool nerd, but nerds all the same.

See? Bassooning is no joke.

Now, no one just "plays" the bassoon. You play the bassoon because you love the deep, smooth tone and the wood/spit taste of the reed. You love your bassoon. Most have names. Mine is Bellatrix, another is Frank, and another is Mildred.

Bassoons are a way of living. Its like a cult. Its BASSOONISM.

you know you want me (and my bassoon),
