Sounds neat! I’m planning to get some new bluegrass CD’s when we’ve recovered from the shock of Anoreth’s auto insurance: The Infamous Stringdusters, and Dale Ann Bradley.
I don’t mind listening to sitar, but I don’t know enough to really appreciate it.
Oops! Guess I could'a warned you about that. Have you found that second job yet? (The one you'll need to pay the extra cost of the auto insurance ...)
YOIKS!
I must be REEEEELY old-fashioned: I told my son that if he wanted to drive, he would have to find a job that would pay for the increase in our insurance. He did. He worked in the cotton fields outside of Phoenix.
He was always a “worker” and did yard work for money to buy himself a TV when he was 12, and a 10-speed bike when he was 14.
In his life he has been “unemployed” but he has almost always had skills to rely on when times were tight. I had nothing to do with this...it was all his own idea!
We gave up wine.
Odd.
Some folks would take up drinking.
That’s what you said!
I figured if my son was old enough to drive, he was old enough to work off the extra cost of the insurance. I also told him if he ever got a ticket while under my roof, he would forfeit his right to drive for month. Between the two, he turned into a responsible driver.
He was assigned to the motor pool while he was in the army, and earned his CDL at the age of 18.
We were already drinking. If we added to that, we couldn’t be Knights of Columbus Family of the Year: “Who?” “You know, the drunk people with all the children!”
I can well imagine that when folks in your neck of the woods think of the word family, it is of your family that they have a mental picture.
That line would NEVER fly in Utah! It was always a toss-up between the Mormons and the Catholics! LOL!
I can recall one Parish picnic when the beer in the tubs were named after Parishoners: Fisher, Becker and Brewer! I went to school with all of them!
Good memories!
Sometimes it ThomasThomasThomas.
I got a TomTom for Christmas.
I got hooked on it in the late 60s (part of my fascination with instruments that drone -- including mountain dulcimer and bagpipe), but didn't really start building my collection of sitar raga recordings until a few years ago.
Ragas are an interesting art form. There is a very tightly scripted ground upon which one improvises, to create a work that goes on for 10, 20, 30 minutes or more. (There is something similar with the Great Highland Bagpipe, its classical music called piobaireachd or "pibroch", that can go to 40 minutes or more -- but every single note, gracenote and run of gracenotes is written down, and played entirely from memory.)
In the hotel in Bangalore, they would play (recorded) music during breakfast. I enjoyed the times they played ragas.
LOL! The advantage of a name like "sionnsar" -- they aren't even going to say it once.
Won't be getting any SionnSionns either.
But those GPS units are nice to have. After my bad experience of attempting to navigate Stuttgart, when I rent a car in Europe (Germany) I always request one. Last one was a ThomasThomasGogh as I recall.
I knew a woman, who, for some unknown reason, decided (in her 70’s) that a Recorder was the musical instrument of choice. At the time, I had no idea what she was talking about. Except for the fact that she wouldn’t play it with her teeth in....
My father gave me a soprano around '62 and by '70 I had a sopranino, soprano, alto and tenor. Unfortunately my sisters ran "experiments" on them that included candle-wax, so none are in particularly good shape anymore.
I quit playing... well... about the time I met LoM. Otherwise I'd probably be playing in an early music group. We have (had?) a very active Recorder Society in Seattle.
But for the dulcimer, mine were all wind. But for the recorder, LoM's were/are all string.
If I could find one that coincides with money and opportunity, I’d get one in a heartbeat!
And then I’d begin to learn the history of the instrument as it pertains to the history of the Scots.
I was a Duncan before I married Igor, but I was a Stewart LONG before that!
I need to research the Castles....but there were so MANY!
(LOL!)
I have played, in order: violin, ukelele, keyboard, piano, organ and keyboard (again.)
I prefer the violin, but will “settle” for a recorder or keyboard. Music is music. When one is hungry, one is not going to turn down a ham sandwich!
Music was compensation for much loneliness.
Have you got a sandwich?
