That cat might have learned from the only bluegrass flute player I know,Raven Stands Alone .

Judging by the size of the cats in relationship to the instruments.........Those are some HUGE cats.

I met a guy at a Music Merchants' Convention, back in the 70's, who manufactured aluminum flutes. All in the key of G.

I figured that if anybody was going to play a flute in a Bluegrass number, his would be the ideal item.

Since "...music is just a bunch of notes..." (F. Zappa) why not have anybody who can hit the right notes, join in?

The Tuesday night Bluegrass jam in Madison, WI, had a flugelhorn, and the guy added a delightful richness to the mix.
