I used to play oboe. I was terrible and gave it up. But I'd give it another try for Ben's sake, if he'd only ask.

Maybe you just have to ask. He likes classical music, doesn't he?

Oh, that would be nice, Veecee, wouldn't it? I'd listen to your playing the oboe while secretly ogling the narrator.

Re: Benedict as narrator in woodwind concert
This sounds a wonderful concert. I love the sound of the oboe and Benedict's voice.
