The recorder is still grating at my ears an hour later. 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm not brave enough to listen but is it really as grating as the original?

Worse. Much, much worse.
Imagine a three year old, after her first lesson with a recorder trying to play "Three Blind Mice". That's bad. That's bad enough that you go to the pub and leave the kid in the car with the recorder.
Now imagine a grown man doing the same with a much more complicated song.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I am doing my best not to imagine it but should I wake up screaming in the middle of the night, I will know who to blame!

My son wanted to learn the saxophone, I love sax music, what a disaster I had to leave the house when he started practicing I didn't know you could get such horrible noises from a musical instrument.
Luckily he had the attention span of a gnat and the sax soon found a hiding place in the back of the wardrobe.

With that many views, I just don't understand YouTube.

So, has anyone else here ever been to a school orchestra concert, particularly for the lower grades?
Perhaps a good use for all the videos of them people have taken.

My kids' middle school (they've been playing for 3 or 4 years) instructor didn't believe in tuning, ever, despite my pleading. Oh the awfulness of their performances, cheese grater for the ears.

Ah yes, the applaud part, my wife would chastise me for shaking my head as I was clapping. Thing is, my kid, and I imagine several others, actually had pretty good tone, it was a shame.

I once gave recorder lessons to a developmentally-disabled grade-schooler (and her mother, so she could help the girl practice during the week.) Even after a few lessons, she played a lot better than this guy!

I put on my noise cancellation headphones and pretend to listen to songs. Win win.

So as you might recall my soakaway is clogged, and not having access to dynamite (good tip USians, it would have been amusing  ) and a price for a new one being dug being 5000 euros (yes, this is France) I went for a complete replacement of the septic tank with a micro station: A propos la micro-station WPL Diamond DMS - solutions eau et assainissement[^]
Lots of vanes and stuff inside, but importantly and air pump that causes aerobic bacteria action, resulting in effluent so clean it can go straight into a river, or in my case on the garden to water it. And it costs 5k euros too.
So bargain methinks.

5,000 euro - someone's a bit flush.
