NPR : The Leaf Player of the Zocalo

NPR : The Leaf Player of the Zocalo

A whole 'nother kind of reed playing. Listen to the performer's solo linked to this article.

Reminds me of kids using grass or weed blades as reeds. It works. Even I - no real reed player - have done it. (You have to hold the blades just right to get it to work. Experimentation is involved.) Be sure there's no chemcials, or other nasties, on the grass or weeds, BTW!!
