This scan comes from a section entitled 'When I Am Not In Playschool', where our Fred, Sheelagh Gilbey, Johnny Ball, Floella Benjamin, Ben Bazell and Carol Leader tell us what extra curricular activities they're into away from the show-ooer!
If anyone wants to see any of the rest, let me know! :-)
Fred says-
Have you ever seen the way a hamster stores up piles of seeds and nuts? Well, I'm a bit like that with musical instruments. Almost every time I go shopping I come back with something to toot, bang, scrape or pluck. It's usually something like a tin whistle or a tambourine. However, the recorder is my favourite instrument. Recorders are quite easy to blow but it takes a lot of practice to play them well. I enjoy making myself musical instruments too. I've built myself an organ, an electric piano and a synthesiser-this can make all kinds of strange 'outer space' sounds as well as playing tunes. This all keeps me very busy but not very quiet. I think my family must be very patient to put up with me! I just love the description of the synth's capabilites explained to kiddies in his inimitable style! And *how big* is that barnet?! :-)
