    And what where early oboes also known as.


    OK I'll go with HAUTBOY. Have to admit I looked it up in an encyclopedia.

    My other post about the 'faggott' I was partly right. The 'fagott' is the old name for the bassoon. Oops that is sure to get me in trouble with at least one member of the forum.

    Well is hautboy correct?

    Think it's hautbois. Means 'high wood' doesn't it? See. There is a woodwork connection.

    I actually gave Cliff the answer in my response to him, Hoboy, and Hautboy is also correct, so, give the man a banana (more expensive than a good cuban cigar at the moment).
    I am rather surprised that 'Old Faggot' didn't respond
    Now get off your Sackbut (another musical instrument) and throw in a question.
    And the Crumhorn was the double reeded forunner to the oboe.

    You only answered part of the question. Apparently the oboe was developed from an earlier instrument called the shawm. No Google

    OK I think it's my turn to ask a question and I'm changing the subject from ancient instruments. Which is the odd one out here and why: St Mary, St Lawrence, St Kilda, St Anne, St Francis.

    Good luck

    Thanks CP, that Catholic upbringing just won't shake off I guess.

    Ok Question is

    Who producted the first recording that Lou Reed appeared on? and what was the full name of the band and their live performance?

    I hope the silence does not indicate a lack of interest in Lou Reed.

    Its obvious none of the IT crowd ever walked on the wild side.

    OK I'll part answer my own question to give you a clue.
    Andy Warhol was the producer. So what was the name of the live performance called.

    Drop some acid and hope for a flash back Cliff.
