Each time I watch an episode it brings me back to the days when I was a kid. I'd run home in readiness to watch Curiosity Show. Rob and Deane are wonderful in teaching. Even now, when I watch it's fantastic to know I am fascinated as much as I was when I was a kid. Hope you both are doing well. Cheers to you both.
And there it is. One of the few segments that showcases Rob's skills as a brass player. I never knew he played until recently but I'd seen all the episodes back in the day and somehow it eluded me that this fellow was an excellent musician among his other callings.
@@CuriosityShow How wonderful Rob! I don't think I'll ever make it to Adelaide - It's a bit out of the way for me. Do you have a youTube channel with 'Daily Jazz'? Also, any other channels? I am a great fan of the Curiosity Show!
lots of houses were built back in the day when this episode aired here, and we kids played on the construction site (yes that was allowed back in the day), getting scrap-pvc-tubes and made "music", guess today it would be considered "a lot of noise" ;)
Last will and so forth... I hereby give my favours and fortunes only to those, who can make AND play the most instruments made out of my ghostless shell and bones. May the fun, play and theater begin.
I remember once many years ago seeing a music band that carved cucumbers, carrots, pumpkins and various other vegetables and turning them into instruments and especially using Carrots and pumpkins as wind instruments. Afterwards the veggie instruments would be washed and turned into a soup as part of the performance, after the musical show was over. So yeah you can really turn any hollowed object into a horn of some sort :)
I did a whole orchestra like that and played a Latin number - carrot flutes and cornetts, nut whistles and drums, eggshell ocarinas and even a short slide trombone made from a Chinese radish with a well-oiled spring onion as the slide inside it - Rob
After years I learned the meaning of Cornetto (as a German). I wanted to translate cornett, but it is just Kornett (never heard this before) or Horn, but also Eiswaffel (ice cream wafer).
