[pct-l] Musical instruments

[Jeffrey Olson]

Back when I was in college at UOP in Stockton, CA, my friends and I used 
to take weekend trips up from Yosemite VAlley to Merced Lake, or Little 
Yosemite Valley and environs.  On one trip when we camped one night at 
Merced Lake I brought out my recorder, the medieval flute type 
instrument.  I'm pretty good, having played it since I was four years 
old.  We were sitting around in the dark, sipping, smoking, and 
socializing.  I pulled out my recorder and started playing my heart 
out.  I could hear minor echos across the lake.  After a couple minutes 
of playing, right in the middle of silence that speaks, someone across 
the lake shouted out, "Shut up!!!" 

Within a half second three or four other voices from camps around the 
lake - not echos - shouted their own version of shut up.  My friends 
thought this was hilarious, as they were too polite to tell me to knock 
it off.  Just be sensitive...

Jeff, just Jeff...
