I blogged yesterday about a picture of an awful oboe. Today I saw the exact same picture on this week’s artsopolis deal page. How odd, eh? Guess they must have done the same google search on oboe images. This is the picture they used. I find it particularly unattractive; the oboe is a bad one, to be sure, but to my eye it’s also upside down.

Maybe it’s just my problem, though?

Anyway, I’m actually writing about the San Jose Chamber Orchestra concert this Sunday. It features an oboist, Jessica Pearlman, whom I first heard on the radio show From the Top. You might want to go!

I know that I do.

Update
I just located this article on Ms. Pearlman.

I had a most wonderful time with Ben, an oboist from Australia, who came for a visit. What a fine player, too!

Thanks, Ben, for coming by. It was great to meet you and to hear you play. Bravo!
