Haha that's cool 😃 You still play music? I've only been "hired" to play in three family-related birthday parties (I was not paid in cash, only in honor, or laughs 😥).

And that's about as far as my flute interest goes. Or maybe Camel or early King Crimson. My mom plays some kind of flute instrument that I forgot the name of. I can actually whistle the flute run in that one 🤓 4 hours ago, Bazooka Jesus said: What instruments do you play? Guitar, sometimes drums. Whistling.

My mother used to play the classical metal concert flute; I got that old thing lying around somewhere here in my flat, but can't play a single damn note on it. (When I look at those entwined valves, I am like "uuuuuuummmm, wut? Which way am I supposed to hold this thing again?" LOL) I play an alto recorder instead (also my mother's)... mostly for meditation purposes, or when I am sitting in the park, or when I'm chilling on the porch of a lonely hut somewhere in the Himalayas smoking hash. You know, snake charmer stoner hippie style. 2 hours ago, Carl-Richard said: I can actually whistle the flute run in that one 🤓 Holy crap, you must have some serious whistling skills. Daaaaayum!!

(When I look at those entwined valves, I am like "uuuuuuummmm, wut? Which way am I supposed to hold this thing again?" LOL) Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure that is what my mom plays. I think I got to try to play it once and it made zero sense to me how it worked (maybe because I was like 7 years old 😆). My dad plays the violin and my parents tried to make me play it when I was 5 years old, but I didn't like it. Then my dad spotted me playing air guitar with this random wooden sword when I was 11, and he seized the opportunity and asked "should we buy you an electric guitar?". He is not a guy to simply buy stuff, so I was genuinely surprised and of course very happy. I think he was waiting for that moment all his life ; the spark of inspiration, intrinsic motivation. I think he implicitly (maybe explicitly, I can't remember) taught me about the concept of intrinsic motivation, and it's one of the deepest concepts I've learned that is still with me to this day. I think I can thank him for most of my wacky spiritual genes (although my mother has also become overtly more spiritual over time). 4 hours ago, Bazooka Jesus said: I play an alto recorder instead (also my mother's)... mostly for meditation purposes, or when I am sitting in the park, or when I'm chilling on the porch of a lonely hut somewhere in the Himalayas smoking hash.

Hehe I might be exaggerating a little bit about how smooth I can pull it off, but I do like to whistle a lot, so much so I had to tone it down because I was pissing off my roommates while cooking Edited April 24 by Carl-Richard Intrinsic joy is revealed in the marriage of meaning and being.
