What musical instrument have you always wanted to play?
(I’m so tempted to start with a “skin flute” joke, but my wife would undoubtedly object. Insert your own.) Like many youths, I was forced to play the recorder in middle school. I had no desire to play the recorder then—a desire that extends to all instruments today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fascinated that people are able to transmute the seemingly undecipherable language of sheet music, through their instrument, into beautiful sounds. My mother-in-law, Glennis, sits down at her piano, flips to a random page, and out comes a perfect song. Amazing! I recently viewed the unfortunately titled movie, Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of Harley Quinn. It was made known that a character called Black Canary had the ability to maim or kill with her voice at the exact time the plot necessitated just such a talent. I suppose they somewhat foreshadowed her skill when earlier in the film she shattered a wine glass by belting out a high note. The human voice is the vocalist’s “instrument.” My instrument also has the ability to temporarily maim (no documented kills, though), as I can’t carry a tune.
