woke up to a text from our first oboe this morning saying "Dude. I need to try some d’amore crooks quite urgently. Like today or early next week. Are there any shops that might have some anywhere near here? Dx" literally the beginning of our text convo. i have several questions

#sasha speaks #apparently brits say crook instead of bocal......are you some kind of petty thief or perhaps a HIP brass player #starting out with 'dude.' was a choice #also the 'Dx' at the end. lol #i think he signs all his texts with x? his replies do so idk if that was an emoticon or a typo #anyway i don't know of any places this side of the country that specialize in oboe kit so. i told him to call mmi or rdg and ask about rush #or contact my repairguy in jersey cause at least he's in this timezone. i don't think he sells bocals but he might know where to get one #but anyway what's Up with 'urgently needing a d'amore bocal'. do you Also have a d'amore. among your hundred instruments #or is this for baroque cause it would not surprise me if baroque and d'amore bocals are close enough to be interchangeable #liveblogging my friendship(???) with this man i guess. he baffles me #oboeposting #i guess
