Oh, dear. I had to stop; it was dreadful!

Tell us something.: Love playing trumpet and modern flute at church as well as Irish trad flute in a band. Been playing Irish trad and 18th century period music for about 15 years.

I hate to admit that I'm also a trumpet player! Much of the performance made my back teeth hurt!

Tell us something.: I restore 19th century flutes, specializing in Rudall & Rose, and early American flutes. I occasionally make new flutes. Been at it for about 15 years.

Great, she is one of us! :P

Now I don't feel bad if she she ends up being VP. She'll be too busy trying to get a hard D to have much influence...

Was it just me, or was that awful on so many levels? :boggle:

Too many!!!!

"floutist" :boggle: :lol: - flouting what? Public decency?

And how galling for Mr Gal-way to be so mispronounced. I daresay the ghastly, mushy piece of music (that kind of stuff is one reason why my respect for wee Jimmy is severely limited!) was hardly ill-served by the execrable "performance"!

Still, the gal's got gall!
I respect people's privilege to hold their beliefs, whatever those may be (within reason), but respect the beliefs themselves? You gotta be kidding!

Slower music is very hard to perform well.

She should have played something with a much faster tempo.

This is a disturbing precedent.

I mean...I don't mind the talent competition so much for the VP spot I guess.
But I don't relish the idea of Biden in a swimsuit! And what if Hillary had been nominated?! :boggle:

This whole thing could get really ugly in a hurry.

I hear Old Joe can twang a mean Jaw harp.

Al Gore's dad was a pretty hot OT fiddle player, from all accounts.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')
