ChunkyFrog, that is why you need to be able to quickly dive underneath your lily pad if your ribits get too annoying to the neighbor.

and for the rest of you. What might have happened to my sleep apnea diagnosis if I had played a circular breathing instrument starting in elementary school through high school? Might the shape of my face be different? Maybe I should have taken cross country running instead?

At least taking Cross Country Running would have helped your air intake, and being able to outrun the people chasing you to stop you from making awful noises. (Musical???) Jim

I couldn't run cross country due to asthma, but I could play a few musical instruments. I started on a trumpet, switched to a french horn (too many trumpet players), then a baritone horn (marching, pep and concert band) and a valve trombone (jazz band).

I used to play a Player Piano in band, but had to quit it kept getting stuck in the mud on the Football Field at the games. :roll: Jim Still got Sleep Apnea.

Maybe I should have tried pushing it in a Circle.
