Yeah, Emm, but what is it?
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

My current dream instrument would be a nice Gypsy Jazz guitar by Shelley Park in Vancouver. See www.parkguitars.com

I've had BAD for years but am now over it, and have reduced my bagpipe playing to mostly Galician Gaita. Its the reeds. Even Baines says that these are his favorite.

I'm at that point in life where I have to make the really tough decisions. I just can't settle on which of these to choose:

hmmmm... tough choice-
The Salvadore Dali 2000-b; or the Dali 2000-c...
I'd go with the atmospheric molecular one with the bust of Lenin+ Gala.

You know, my dad asked me a similar question last night. I said guitar and viola after that (mostly for backing and such, and 'cause why the heck not, I'm decent at cello for someone who doesn't actually play cello), and that's about where it is. Uilleann or Northumbrian pipes would be a long term goal, maybe. Or just a nicer set of smallpipes.

As for the regularly scheduled topic...dream instruments? And in deference to that, I'll tuck an Herbison laughing D in one of the interior pockets of the teardrop.

Have you considered a 5 string fiddle
or, in the cello range, an octave violin?

They tell me people tend to loose the ablity to hear high pitches before they loose the low pitches. If that's true, if I were thinking about doing a lot of volunteer work entertaining at retirement homes I'd find it as serious justification to buy one of these babies.

Oh yeah, come to momma!

Geez!
When I took up the fiddle my mother thought I was becoming a hillbilly.

As cute (and practical for attending festivals) as a tear drop might be, I'm sure my mother would interpret it as my trailer trash in training adventure.

Are they practical to be pulled behind a Prius?

Sorry...

that was the first thing I thought of when I pictured a Prius pulling a nomad trailer.

I could just see a hippy driving that..Image

I wasn't knocking anyone.

Hippy?
My husband, with a PhD in physics working in IT as a sysadmin who paid cash for his Prius with the bonus he got for not jumping ship last time his employer got sold, a hippy?

No, don't think so.
I'm the only herb growing sit around all day playing fiddle in my tiedyed night gown hippy in this house.

My car is a Honda Civic. I wanted something normal people would have enough brains to tinker with and not electrocute themself in the process.

Alan bought the manual when he bought his Prius but after reading it decided he could afford to out source the tinkering with the money he saves on gas.
