The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 23, 2009

What about Aunt Mabel’s spoons? Or the Great Le Petomane?

Who could ever forget the magnificent PAN FLUTE!!!

He ain’t whistling Dixie

I hate toadmit it, but I have a nose flute. My sister worked in a music store and it was a novelty instrument.

What about the musical glass with water in them?

It’s easier with a kazoo.

What about the violin? In the hands of my 8 year old niece, it’s a sonic weapon.

Marg, was that an invention of the great Governor Le Petomaine from Blazing Saddles?

I’m glad the title was accurate enough not to label them as “musical” instruments…

What about the North Napolitan Nose whistlers?

old uncle Phil, he’s such a card

how about this one….

@MisngNOLA: No, Margueritem’s reference was to this La Petomaine.

EDIT: Fix minor typo.

The last may be peculiar but certainly not uncommon.

right up there with the uncle’s “pull my finger” instrument

Didn’t he solo with the San Francisco philharmonic?

I’ll be hiding in the load the rest of the comments
