"Lessons" is such a stinking good episode. That "Frere Jacques" duet is gorgeous. When she comes in with those lovely chords under his improvising, it's really moving.
am i the only one who finds geordi's singing kind of...well...laughable? don't get me wrong, i think he's good, but i can't help but laugh when i think of him singing
@DigDugMaster I also saw in a special about Paramount auctionining off Star Trek items, of which the flute was one, is that the actual propr wasn't even a real flute, didn't make any sounds.
The whistle seen in the episode was a penny whistle, & Patrick Stewart actually learned to play the "Flute Song" on it. The one they sold was a prop replica, Stewart kept the actual whistle.
Brice Martin, and in the other the whistle duties were shared by Brice and Fred himself. It is Fred's recollection that in the episode in which Brice did all the playing, it was actually played on a whistle, but in the episode in which they played together, they used both whistles and recorders....
he confirmed that he was the whistle player on both episodes but not in the spots in which Patrick Stewart appears to play on camera).
That tune from The Inner Light always chokes me up now (along with that clip you chose from it)... probably the most moving TNG episode, IMO (major props to Patrick for an amazing performance!). I also loved the apt episode title for Geordi's Major General attempt... :)
How come noone plays the guitar, drums, bass in star trek? it's either flutes, trumpets and violins... don't they like rock music? dammit... and that synthahol they drink, it must be crap... what happened to Jack Daniels???

In the Star Trek universe it is best known as a Ressikan Flute, otherwise it's just a remade Tin-whistle.
