My son just started playing the oboe. He has been following me around the house, jumping from the shadows, and randomly squawking. It is scary but not in the way that he intends. It reminds me of an old Looney Tunes episode. Imagine Bugs Bunny as a snake charmer. He is trying to convince a cobra to emerge from a wicker basket. He does seem to be a natural at it. “How can you get such a good sound on the first try?” “It’s easy. It’s like holding your breath and trying to poop at the same time.”
