Every rose has its horn

Ah, roses and pianos.

Is there anything so romantic as these?

I also would have accepted rose and violin, rose and trumpet, or rose and french horn.

We've got to bring these cliche iconic images back in style.

I tell you what, I'll go guilt my husband into buying me roses and, while he's out searching frantically for them, I'll try to find a suitable instrument so that I, too, can craft my own romantic photograph.

Update:

The only thing close to an instrument that I could locate in the house was a nose flute.

I wish I was kidding. Proof:

Rose-and-nose-flute wall art, it's gonna be big.

Now you can tinkle the ivories wherever it tickles your fancy

I just learned these things existed. It was a thrift store epiphany.

So impractical. So unnecessary. So ridiculous. I want it.

"Lower notes 'breathy'." Now that's either a technical term, or a very poetic individual wrote this little note. I will choose to believe it's the latter.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go figure out a way of justifying this purchase.

Vital organ

You think playing the guitar is the be-all and end-all of cool instruments.

But you obviously haven't logged enough hours of exposure to one of these bad boys.

Seeing one of these evokes memories of my late grandfather... and an evil penguin*. I can't help what I think.

I'm telling you. This is the next big thing in fireside and college dorm instruments of choice. Once the world has heard "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" played on one of these babies, you won't see a hitchhiker, busker, or budding musician without one of these in tow.

Tell your friends.

Next big thing.

You heard it here first.


*The latter memory would be a reference to Wallace and Gromit - The Wrong Trousers.
