Gurn, do you play any instrument?

Guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo. In earlier times I played trumpet & baritone tuba. Doesn't matter though, I don't intend to find my way into Bach like Bela Fleck has... :D

Sounds great to me. Seriously.

Yeah, but it wouldn't with me playing it. :D  Maybe someone from the Canadian Brass... :)

That made me laugh so hard and boisterous that the Cabernet wine that was in my mouth spilled all over the floor. :o ;D

Sure, you can do that cat thing on a banjo easily. Add in a dog and another banjo and it will be Deliverance Pt II in no time. :D

OTOH, when wine is accidentally spilled on the floor Romanians say some dead person was thirsty. This time it must have been good ol' Papa...

Hope it is so. We owed him a glass or two. :)

One of my speakers just crapped out. I am depressed. :'(  See y'all in a while, I have to do something about this. :-\

Splendid. Don't get too close to that modern flute, it will cut right through your ear drums. :D  As for me, I am going to use this rare vacation day that I've taken to go play golf in the rain. I can hardly wait!  :-\
