Tell us something.: I'm really a fiddler but in Jan. '24 I finally gave a proper effort to learning to play the Tipple flute I've had lying around since '08, and now I can't stop. It's all because I had an epiphany that the flute can be played without having to get out of bed.

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.
