Perhaps I should put it in a closet and take up the oboe.

Take up the sousaphone or a fife! They are pretty All-American!

No, that won't do either. The oboe came to us from the Turk (Islamic) invasions of the 15th and 16th centuries. Let me suggest you give up music altogether and take up Lacrosse, a game which originated among the Indian tribes in the Great Lakes region....

Great idea! I'll go for the fife; it would fit better on the back of my AMERICAN-MADE Harley Davidson!
