… well, not literally, mind you!

But there are places in my oboe/English horn part in this chamber music version that I’m doing with San Jose Chamber Orchestra that are from the trumpet part. Between those parts and the places where I have to hold my oboe up above the stand I really do start thinking I’m a trumpet player. Well, okay, maybe only a little bit, but I think that counts for something. (Not sure it’s a good something or a bad something, though.) Too bad I still have to make reeds, though.
