Oh My Giddy Aunt

[flump1]

The lad (9 years) next door has taken up playing an instrument. I am as yet unclear as to what it might be, it sounds like granny sitting on an elephant and the varying degrees of discomfort between them . At least he is getting some kind of sound from whatever it is, I doubt I could !

Sounds delightful, flump.

This will be our house next week, they're introducing musical instruments for Mini Boo's year which they can bring home.

Hers will be the trumpet....

what does a granny sitting on an elephant sound like?

The daughter used to play clarinet and saxophone..............the neighbours weren't too pleased and we were detached.

[ummmm]

The grown man over the road from me plays the drums!!!

[ummmm]

lol Triggs...

And just what is wrong with learning to play the tri-angle ? Bless em.

How can anyone be said to play drums? To play an instrument means to get a tune out of it, surely?

[flump1]

' fluff , long drawn out achy kind of sound. Starts high, gets lower as he runs out of wind.

[ummmm]

Bookbinder, I agree, it just a noise without the accompanying music. Not a very nice noise either.

Give them a ring and say you're worried their cat might need a vet's appointment ;-)

Oh dear! Luckily no children, let alone with instruments, either side of me though both sides seem to like their DIY, lots of power tool kind of sounds going on a lot, I do wonder they must eventually run out of things to drill, hammer etc... I'm very lucky with my neighbours though, they are all very nice.

...how apt, drilling noises have just started! :)

Drummers are guys, usually, who like to hang around with musicians.
