same thing to me and blames the beer the morning after.

Ok, to summarise, the worse you are at playing the
flute, the more you sound like someone who is quite accomplished at playing the
flute on a mellotron.
On account of the fact that I can't play the flute
at all, perhaps I should therefore buy a flute
1) because it is much cheaper than buying a
mellotron
2) beacuse on the basis that if you play a
flute badly you sound quite like a good mellotron player, by not being able to
play a flute at all I must therefore sound like a BRILLIANT
mellotron player
3) I can't play a mellotron either

should generally be banned. Or maybe rock flute players could be
licensed... >>
picky picky picky. most rock flute players I've heard are trying their
damndest to retain some delicacy in the face of overwhelming odds; blowing
across the end of a foot-and-a-half of tubing, nearly always miked up wrong,
with a wall of marshalls (or whatever) a few feet behind them.

I've heard Martinge Smith play bad flute on a mellotron. Does that mean
that he's a COMPLETE loser?
Is the pope Polish?

PS Okay, that takes care of the flute players. Now let's move on to the oboe. Norm, would you like to kick this one off?
Actually, knowing several, I'd like to kick most of them off...a tall building.
