I've been missing the strangest thing lately--playing bassoon. I want to play bassoon again, badly. Maybe it's been the classical music that my teacher played in my last class. Maybe it is that regretful feeling I've had about never really taking the bassoon thing seriously enough in college. Maybe I'm longing for my good old college days. Maybe it is that I want some sort of device that I can transfer my senior bassoon recital VHS to a DVD before I accidentally ruin the tape. Maybe it was intensified by the recent "Music Stand" catalog that came yesterday. I even spent the last half hour looking at bassoons for sale on eBay and realizing I can't spend that kind of money unless I win the lotto or find a really good paying job (a good bassoon costs several thousand dollars). *sigh*
