Cannon plays the contra monster, a leather bassoon played with a crook and double reed. It has an in-built control panel to allow her to guide the electronic effects.

(Sorry, I still can’t put pictures up here for some reason. Sigh. So check out this link.)

I just love the picture here! Too. Darn. Cool.

I’d steal the picture and put it here, but I think that’s against the rules and, well, you know me and rules! :-)

But a football player who knows about the oboe? Say what?!

And yes, you bet your life I’m going to watch the Superbowl. These past few years I’ve not been able to, due to opera. This year opera rehearsal is at 7:30 PM, and I think I’ll get in a good amount, if not all (?), of the game. It used to be a family tradition; we’d all sit around and yak through the game, but silence was required during commercials. Yeah, we are silly that way.

Bizarre. (I love Mahler, but I don’t like graffiti. Oh well.)
