I would say yes.

Surely I can't be the only one who finds this thread's turn tedious. Makes me not even want to read it in hopes of useful stuff.

Ah, okay. Just a couple of words works fine.

Edited to add: but not more than a few words. Still can't post what I intended, as I've been getting a server error since yesterday.

We'll check the Board.

I hesitate to say this, but I've only got a tuner app. I don't have perfect pitch, but I do have strong relative pitch, so when I'm on my own I rely on the app to get the starter pitch I want (usually D), and from there I tune by ear (strings), occasionally checking in with the tuner app to see what...

Oh, the usual. You know, struck by a car in a grocery store parking lot a couple months ago, knocked 20 feet through the air, landed flat on my back, TBI, skull broken in two places. Other than that, couldn't be better. Good grief. Hope you're well on the mend! I just found out the fully keyed C fo...

Bob, what would you consider to be characteristic of Hall & Son flutes? I've never had any experience of them - that I know of - and a quick look-see shows some pretty differing flutes on first glance. I have no way of knowing whether Google Images was serving up the real deal.

Covid seems to have done a number on a lot of people. I'd characterize the aftermath as lingering shellshock.

Good to see you back.

Yeah, I've been having trouble again, too. We're on it.

It is, isn't it. Gives the music a reason to live, you could say. Good job, there, BTW. Keep at it.

... for anyone (like me) who is tired of the expression "It is what it is," imagine it with contractions to take the edge off: "It's what it's." I've heard a couple of others say they're tired of it too. I know one fellow who uses the phrase when it fits (as do I, but not overmu...

And not to be a pedant, but while it's popular practice to call it Blackwood allergy, it's actually not an allergy at all: it's contact dermatitis, which is a sensitization matter. No, it’s an allergy: The reaction is caused by a compound in the wood, an allergen, thus the resulting contact dermati...

I'm befuddled by the double negative....

That's what I get for trying to be homespun.

Looks like it should be in my area, but I haven't noticed it. Then again, it doesn't look to be at all likely in urban locations, and I haven't tramped the woods in a long while.
