Shofar!!!!!

[C2H5OH]

Our Jewish members will all know what this is, but I, an atheist lapsed Catholic, had never heard of them. A few months ago, I read about them. The article I read said you blow them like a bugle. I used to be able to play any bugle call you care to name, on a bugle, trumpet, or cornet.

So, I found out you can buy them from Amazon, and I had some extra SSI money that month (SSI gets upset if you don't spend the money they give you), so I bought one. It turns out you need teeth, too, to play them properly. They yanked all my teeth before they irradiated me for the throat cancer, so no teeth. I bought a cheap Chinese military bugle at the same time. You need teeth to play a bugle properly, too. I won't abuse you all with a recording of my bad playing. I can briefly blow some good notes on my shofar, but no Jewish congregation will EVER have me blow shofar for them.

Anyway, here's some GOOD Shofar blowing. 8 hours of it. It doesn't say, but I'm guessing that this was probably done on Yom Kippur. The videos I found of Fundy Xtians pretending to do it for whatever idiotic 'religious' reason they thought was good, were as bad as mine. At least I don't pretend that I'm doing it for made-up religious reasons.

I did get the neighbors across the street to yell at me to 'Stop blowing that fucking horn', when I first tried to play it, though.
