You sound swell - alot like the gentleman I am currently seeing.
Now that means something to me, "swell" I mean.
Today, if I was to tell a woman she was "swell" she'd
think I was a rube.
What do you all play?
I used to play Mt.Dulcimore, and was apprenticed to a
man in Seattle and learned to make them, but later decided
to make blacksmithing my career and it is very hard on your
hands so now don't play. After thirty years of hot iron,
my hands give me a little trouble.
Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that. I was only 4 years old in 1968...but I know a swell guy when I see one. Any woman who'd think you were a rube isn't worthy of you. She's obviously not paying attention to the good stuff.
I play the fiddle. I love to play blues, and also play western swing (Bob Wills is Still the King), old time fiddle tunes, traditional cajun, bluegrass and the occasional zydeco tune, too.
My beau plays the harmonica - and has a wonderful baritone voice.
Dulcimers are beautiful instruments. I love to play the old time tunes with a dulcimer and a banjo present.
I swear this fixer-upper house must have been waiting for me to find it, to be the reason I took up smithing, since I have this 'thing' for functional art such as staircase railings, and this house has the perfect staircase just begging to be worked over.
Alas, too many projects, not enough ~me~
