I prefer happy family movies like this movie.

Shining

Read the first Oz book years ago, still have a strange image of a China Country stuck in my head.

From what I remember, he pretty much sticks with a half inch bore for his fifes up to G. Seems like he is more for the lower registers of the instrument he mentions G and F fifes, but I don't recall seeing them for sale.

I think that for the most part I need to find the correct sub group in each field of music. For the most part I dislike popular country music, there seems to be a self selection of sorts that people that like country music, so most of the country music I heard was consistent with that identity. Same...

DNA to me is useful for disease and physical stuff. I am 1/4 french decent, but I cannot think of any culturally French things I do. As far as that goes I probably have more Thai than French in me.

Looks to be a band flute with a "cheater" as mentioned above. The mouth piece should be able to be unscrewed (note the keyed screw on the underside) and the flute played as normal. The embouchure looks like it is in good condition, but who knows what is under the metal. Could be fine and e...

Wouldn't blue putty sticky tack muting be the quick easy way to solve this problem?

It's another couple of weeks before we change our time. That's the other thing, it's not even standard. I should be able to look up a place and timezone and know better than +/- 3 hours of what time it is. Last time the government switched the time, the auto update on my computer was such that it d...

For me it just means that when I get off of third shift it is dark again.

What about that match girl? Her family needs some sales income, she leaves new years night, torches the inventory, and never returns. That just seems cold.

I see Cooperman has a student persimmon that may fit my needs: http://www.cooperman.com/fife-news/traditional-bb-model-student/ Is this decent? I would think it is coming from Cooperman. What are your needs? Specific key? Period look? If it is wood, I cannot say anything about Cooperman's student f...

It seems like most every music book and instrument tutor has a version of "Mary had a little lamb". From there it seems that each instrument and musical style diverges. So I was wondering what tunes could be found in most every style on most instruments. "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht&q...

19. A Roman walks into a bar, holds up two fingers, and says: “Five beers, please.”

Looks over at the German and thinks "he's ordering 50 beers?"
