Re: Can we be done with "Tri-City -County -State" areas?

In Minnesota, every now and then (but seldom) you'd hear mention of "the Tri-State Area". Nothing ever got specified, but out of 15 possible combinations, I always assumed the other two states must be Iowa and Wisconsin, because we traditionally have a longstanding love-hate relationship t...

Re: Sunglasses...tool of Satan, necessary accessory or what?

I've worn glasses all the time for a few years now, and decided to try Transitions lenses when I got my second pair of varifocals. I stumped up for the sort that change fastest and stay clearest out of the sun, but I still had to take them off every time I went outside briefly then came back into t...

Re: Sunglasses...tool of Satan, necessary accessory or what?

Personally, I want to like them, but nothing looks like it does when you're not wearing them...all colors are wrong. I have light-sensitive eyes, so the colors are less of an issue than the darkening aspect for me. And like Moof, I'm more likely to wear them in winter, because on a sunny day the sn...

Ah yes, the False Cayden event, long faded from memory. We have no idea how it happened, and at our level of skills or lack thereof, there's no fixing it.

I agree. Transparency wins friends and allies around here.

Re: Best Penny Whistle?

Btw, this guide is a great resource, you may want to have a look Blowing your own trumpet there, aren't you? :poke: With a track record of non-commercial posts and not a lot of this sort of thing, the guidelines suggest it's not a problem so far as the Board's concerned. Personal taste, OTOH, may b...

Nobody else is reporting this issue, so it might be on your end. We'll look into it nevertheless.

Re: Melanostigmatophobia

One problem among ear-players is there's no set nomenclature, and this can be even more problematic if you're playing with a reading musician unfamiliar with your idiom and the two of you haven't defined your terms. One time I was performing in a church Be Thou My Vision on Trad flute with a classic...

Been a while, Nano! Are you the last of the Mohicans in these parts? In some ways yes, in some ways no. C&F hasn't the craziness it used to have before the ascendency of the social media platforms, but it appears to still remain a reliable and sought resource on its topics, and during your hiat...

Re: Melanostigmatophobia

I was just too unruly for all that. Looks like I'm in good company. It seems impossible, but for seven years I was able to deceive my piano teacher that I could read; I was actually learning by ear all along, and what little reading I could do was really just a bad crutch to get me past the things I...

Re: Posts keep messing up

Just trying it out. I keep trying for my first post on the sideways flute forum and I keep getting the "server error" message with a longer post. Maybe a one liner? That's unusual. If it doesn't resolve itself, please email either me or Ben and we'll get it sorted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edit: L...

Re: question: nutmeg

Seems there is a small amount of arsenic I think in the seeds and I guess they thought people were trying to do themselves in If you'll forgive the pedantry, it's cyanide, not arsenic. Not only apples but drupes (stone fruits like cherries, plums, apricots, peaches, almonds, etc.) also have varying...
