Playing Ocarina for the Cows 2
April 21st, 2007 by vincebates
When I told my music appreciation class about playing the ocarina for the cows, they thought it was pretty funny. A couple of the farmers, however, thought I was nuts and said that all you have to do is go out and stand by the fence and the cows will come because they think you are going to give them some corn. I grew up on ranches in Utah and Nevada and our cows never just came up to the fence like that (but then we never brought them buckets of corn either). Anyway, the other morning on the way to school I stopped to test whether the cows would come with me just standing there. That’s right–they came just as they had previously when I played ocarina. I don’t think they enjoyed it quite as much though . . .
