The bulk of the musical talk

Are you (the worse) part of a tuba-flute relationship?

I am married to (or in a long-term relationship with) a flute player.

Does it count if my wife started as a flute player but switched to horn? :)

you're absolutely right, most people don't believe it can work until they actually hear it

I have 2 hours of "D" on my college transcript; one was Physical Education and the other was Flute Pedagogy.

Yeah, I married one too - 26 years ago this coming June, even after she nearly rendered me deaf playing a high Bb on a Piccolo at the end of Jazz Band song (I was running the sound board and wearing headphones at the time - talk about painful). I still love her, though. In fact, our "signature" special music for church services is our Dixieland duet of "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" - on Piccolo and Tuba. Folks aways get a kick out of that one.

I have nothing but grandiose love and praise for flute players since I married one ( and she sometimes reads these threads). :roll:
