Re: [Finale] Oboe Joke

[tim-cates]

I take great delight in reminding my oboist friends that I can replace them with a mute......if you want to really get a rise out of them, tell them that their tuning note was sharp and they should pull out the reed a bit......

Could you give me the subject/autor, or the joke?
