P.D.Q.Bach quote of the week: About the use of double reeds in the cantata 'Iphegenia in Brooklyn' - "Many composers have written for double reeds, but P.D.Q. Bach is the only one I know of to do so without the use of oboes and bassoons."
Gah! The nightmare that is double reeds! Surely they shouldn't be an option in Highschool band? Although, come to think of it our Bassoonist can make lightsaber sounds...it's about all she can do though.

Curious, what do you call a double reed instrument that isn't an oboe or bassoon?

Encourage natural selection:
remove warning labels.
Have you heard about the outcry for warning labels on all alcohol for the prevention of fatal alcohol syndrome? Seems mothers want to warn mothers to be not to drink while pregnant.

In relevance to the quote though, Yay natural selection, it would solve a great many society problems if all the stupid people suddenly went away. (Smiley boycott: Cheeky grin posted here)
