Ron Popeil. Salesman of the Century. Genius Inventor. That stuff you spray on your head to cover your bald spot has changed my life.
Well Dale,
We could always write in to Ron and request a “Popiel Pocket Whistleman”…A collapsable whistle and fishing rod all in one - you could play tunes while you fish. (we already have folks on the list who play tunes while they troll…but that’s another past time entirely…)
Ron would have to learn to play a few tunes on the thing just to demo it during the infomercial.

Loren, you’re a genius. A twisted one, yes, but a genius nonetheless.
How about an accordion you can open up and dehydrate food in?
Why yes Dale,
A Dehyordian!!! Makes jerky while you play - great for those long sessions where one really works up an appetite playing all those up-tempo sets! Just think, you’d be the life of the session.
Heck with it Dale, what say we go into business and produce these things ourselves? We can call the company “Mad Scientists Inc.”, Muwhaaa haaa haa haaaaa!
Or, maybe I should just take my medication now…
Yeah, that bald spot sprayer has changed my life, too. I got fouled up with the 3-way mirrors in the bathroom and sprayed my face. Now I have permanent racoon eyes. I’m suing his butt.

An accordian that dehydrates food - brilliant idea! The faster you play, the faster it dehydrates food - I’m surprised it hasn’t been invented already!

Funny. I thought accordions have the reverse effect. I know this accordion player and whenever he plays, I want to run to the bathroom. The soundproof bathroom.
Maybe we could make musical balloons by attaching them to the ends of whistles. While we play, the balloon fills up with air and music. When the balloon is deflated, you hear the tune. Heh? The tempo of the tune would be determined by the speed of the exhalation of the air, ie: popping the balloon would result in a double jig, slowly leaking the air, of course, would be an air. Tune-a-balloon? How about it Dale?

No, what we should do is put another fipple/mouthpiece on the bottom, with a balloon over it. While playing it would inflate, then when you took a breath it would deflate, allowing the tune to continue.
Call it “Lazy Whistlers’ Circular Breathing Device.”

After all what is the definition of a genius?
Simply one who thinks in an unusual manner.
I think that sums up Loren perfectly!

Gee Nico,
I’m not sure whether to be flattered or insulted
