That dude has steel lips. I am a professional bassoon player, and playing anything for 9 hours straight would make my lips bleed.
Edit: I apparently skimmed the article too skimmily.
- yur3i__ 4y agoI don't imagine it was 9 straight hours but like a song an hour or every half an hour
- ceejayoz 4y agoWon’t have been the entire time. Just during critical points. > at various times throughout the surgery
- yellowapple 4y agoBack in high school we did one of those playathon things where a bunch of us band kids basically held a 12-hour jam session as a fundraiser for something or other. About 11 of those 12 hours were cumulatively spent riffing on "Superstition". I was on trombone, and spent most of those hours improvising solos in a desperate yet futile attempt to make it not horrifically repetitive. I still absolutely loathe that song to this day.
