Housey!

Post by DavebytheSea »

Just got my housey! today. Interesting reading, and what a lovely picture of Lucy Cox (Col A). What a very large "oboe" she is playing!! My daughter played one of those rather well but I seem to remember she called it something else.

I had the same thought about that instrument, but being one of the most unmusical Old Blues in existence I didn't dare raise the thought here!! (What is it please?)

oi watch it, I still play the bassoon! :wink:

I know, good typo there. Especially after the blurb about repairing the bassoons. I'm not sure why that was such a big deal. I seem to remember the instruments (not just bassoons!) often being sent to the repairers for maintenance. You shouldn't leave instruments until they're knackered. Costs twice as much to sort out for a start!

don't u think that housey is just turning into a CH propaganda magazine for the counting house. The whole double age is about ols blues giving money or some shi about becoming a donation govenor. They must be desperate.

I think Housey has had that perception for years...
