Alice is the interpreter of the strange oboe sounds from Petey.

I’ll take the drool note over the brown note any day.

‘What is that sound?’
‘Somebody is strangling a cat.’
(Hogan’s Heroes’)
To paraphrase Hogan, ‘You won’t believe what he does to an oboe.’

What’s the difference between an oboe and an onion?

You don’t cry when you’re cutting up the oboe.

Petey channels his inner Eric Dolphy.

I think the —SBPLLLS part is the sound of Petey drooling over his oboe. Beni’s question, BTW, seems very much in order to me. Maybe Alice could do narration for the preschool orchestra, if there were such a thing….

Sounds like perfect harmony to me.

“How do you tune two oboes? …shoot one of the oboists!”

Bruno Zeigerts said, 4 months ago

‘Trick question … how do you know if your bagpipe is in tune?’
(How do you know if it’s out of tune?)

Danny Kaye called the oboe,“The ill wind that nobody blows good.”

When I was in kindergarten, I recall directing an “orchestra” made up of my classmates. They had little cymbals, rhythm sticks, a triangle, and probably bells and some kind of drum. The teacher may have played a record or the piano.
