I said neither one. As in, "neither one". I should know; I just checked to make sure.

But I do think I'll have a shot of what you guys are having.

This is draggin' on a bit as my neighbor has suffered a serious breach in his parameter containment and is leaking cows, steers, etc. My horses are not amused.

Carry on
Well. if the cows are back, then that means your neighbor has reestablished the parameters of his perimeter :poke:

The cows are back.... I led them back, talked to the neighbor

the parameter is on for tomorrow

it is the fencing that spans the stream, in the woods, that is laying in the water with the winter's windfall on it. (about 45' of it)

when I had a track hoe I'd just take care of his fence as soon as it dried out enough to toddle down there.... oh well

I've said this before, but I think where Flatley shines brightest by far and away is at playing reels. I loves me some Flatley reels. Pretty brilliant stuff, I think, and his way with variations could almost be a study in itself. :thumbsup:

Well, yes, he DOES look well-lacquered, but you have to admit that the makup artist had the commendable good taste to use a light touch with the trowel. :wink:

i'd agree, his reel variations are nifty.
I'm not much for his jigs, which seem pedestrian.... :sleep:
or his airs, which lack some basic musical quality....such as playing in tune. :shock:

but his reels are cool.

It was announced on the radio this am that today is Mr. Flatley's 52nd birthday. Perhaps cut him some slack for the day...?

Best wishes.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Didn't know it was his birthday. You know, every time we get on this Flatley slagfest thing it always strikes me as really, deep down, being backhanded hommage. Yes, I said "hommage".

Go ahead: deny it, everyone. :poke:
