Spoons ARE tricky to play! Even little hand percussion instruments require good technique- just because they're small doesn't mean any idiot can play them, or should.

This reminds me of an 18th century tune about a man who sits (accidentally) upon a lady's violin and breaks it. The singer puts a curse upon the "huge masculine bum" that perpetrated the act. The last line of the song goes, "Kiss my bum fiddle." :-D

That wasn't the sort of romance you was lookin for?
