Friends fear even further deterioration of his already tenuous hold on reality.

Us foreigners do have a hard time, if one is utterly fixated on having G.U.R.T.
Nonetheless, we were able to confuse them with our very own European duo Gyrd and Gnupa. Having had three DUI convictions does prove however

VIOLINS.....

The Hurdy Gurdy " worldwide correspondents reported the following:

From the music editor:

The hurdy gurdy (also known as a wheel fiddle) is a stringed musical instrument in which the strings are sounded by means of a rosined wheel which the strings of the instrument pass over. This wheel, turned with a crank, functions much like a violin bow, making the instrument essentially a mechanical violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that presses tangents (small wedges, usually made of wood) against one or more of these strings to change their pitch.

Most hurdy gurdies have multiple "drone strings" which provide a constant pitch accompaniment to the melody, resulting in a sound similar to that of bagpipes.

Many folk music festivals in Europe feature music groups with hurdy gurdy players, but the most famous annual festival is at Saint-Chartier, in the Indre département, in central France, during the week nearest July 14 (Bastille Day).

One of the earliest forms of the hurdy gurdy was the organistrum, a large instrument with a guitar-shaped body and a long neck in which the keys were set (covering one diatonic octave). The organistrum had a single melody string and two drone strings which ran over a common bridge and a relatively small wheel. Due to its size, the organistrum was played by two people, one of whom turned the crank while the other pulled the keys upward. Pulling keys upward is a cumbersome playing technique, and as a result only slow tunes could be played on the organistrum.[2] The pitches on the organistrum were set according to Pythagorean temperament and the instrument was primarily used in monastic and church settings to accompany choral music.

The abbot Odo of Cluny (died 942) is supposed to have written a short description of the construction of the organistrum entitled Quomodo organistrum construatur (How the Organistrum Is Made),[3][4] known through a much-later copy, but its authenticity is very doubtful. Another 10th century treatise thought to have mentioned an instrument similar to the hurdy gurdy is an Arabic musical compendium written by Al Zirikli.[1] One of the earliest visual depictions of the organistrum is from the twelfth-century ´Pórtico de la Gloria (Portal of Glory) on the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain, which includes a carving of two musicians playing an organistrum.

Is this a ‘sine’ that TRYagain is full of wind, fiddles with riddles, mathematicals and off on a tangent, with possibly a Pythagorean temperament?

The “Odo do do Looney” TRYagain is composing “Quasimodo Organistrum Aria (How His Organistrum Is Made? one may ask) and details of the upcoming Portal of Glory due to commence on December 31st 2008 in the cathedral at InsaneTryLongAgo will follow in the next edition.

CJ and Jespah take iron in order to turn the crank. British and Alabamismi correspondents audition for the choral society. BEAgle grabs a guitar!!!

Special Agent Wandel is to watch Captains Courageous (1937) to observe Spencer Tracy, and to meet his brother Dick Tracy to assist with further investigations.

MsrF to brush up on his drones in preparation for July 14th.

Wandel deplores sax, but violins are a-okay.

X-tra wind needed to play sax, more suitable for Tryagain than Wandel.

Yes, Try has extra wind to pass and play the sax at the same time.

Zithers, on the other hand, are wind-free.

Abrogating flatulence is key priority in election campaign " wind in the brass section should no way be confused with; The Wind in the Willows…

THE Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing. It was small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on the floor and said `bother!'…..

Creative design myth exposed " we are sans spherical protrusions* on the upper frontal torso area " No way was that creative!

MUSIC CORRESPONDENT REPORTS:

MOONSHINE JUG AND STRING BAND

THE FUNDAMENTAL THINGS APPLY AS TIME G0ES BY

As the seventies hurtled headlong into the dirge decade, the one bright light in Adelaide, later shedding its light on the east coast of Australia, was the inventive, rebel rousing MOONSHINE JUG AND STRING BAND, the band which eventually became The Angels.

Standing out amongst its pop oriented contemporaries, MOONSHINE JUG AND STRING BAND erupted from an atmosphere of blandness, spreading its good time salute to the fundamental skiffle, jug and string rebel music of the thirties and forties.

The band raised a ruckus in Adelaide for almost two and a half years and sparked a revival in jug and string music, a revival that culminated in headlining their own shows, and eventually featuring in numerous pop festivals. A major highlight for them was playing at Melbourne’s infamous T.F. Much More Ballroom with the 100-piece National Jug Orchestra, conceived by Mick and Jim Conway and their Captain Matchbox Whoopie Band.

Those of us who were around in Adelaide in those days could never forget the mania that enveloped Adelaide in 1972, due to the fun evoked by the band. For those who were not around, there is nothing today that could compare to the madness, the pure skiffle infection.

With zany antics, wild clothes and boundless humour the group showcased many instruments including guitar, banjo, mandolin, kazoo, harmonica, washboard, washtub bass, tuba, trombone, piano, fiddle, cello, jaw harp, and, of course, the jug …….the jug …….Don't forget the jug.

MOONSHINE JUG AND STRING BAND today works as a four piece band with three original members:

John Brewster - guitar, harmonica and vocals
Rick Brewster - washboard, vocals, jug and guitar
Spencer Tregloan - banjo, tenor guitar, vocals and kazoo
Paul Robert Burton - double bass, vocals, percussion, ukelin,
guitar & ocarinas

In January 2008 The Moonshine Jug & String Band re-united and joined forces with upright bass player Paul Robert Burton to record their first album in over 15 years, “No Place Like Home”.

Skiffling is the new A2K dance to be performed in a Darling Harbour!

Dancing fish is an appropriate tag for this topic.

Enlisting the A2K deckhands at Darling Harbour, partner pairing will be decided by a draw at the local bar. All keys to be thrown on the bar table and skiffling partner to be picked whilst blindfolded. Similar to pin the tail on the donkey.... in reverse.

Good golly, Miss Molly, there really is such a place.

Hope your sleep was ever restful, Ms. Iz.

Intelligent design theory has been an ongoing point of interest at a2k for the
past three years, especially to our Chicago reporter wandel. Today's paper
wonders why he hasn't found the answer yet.

Judicial and thorough as always, the very astute Wandel considered the original topic resolved, but is following-up on residual issues in his compelling new thread which can be found at:
http://able2know.org/topic/121621-1#post-3379758

Keen observation points to Intelligent design having stopped short of the Californian boarder as Jespah totally confuses C-J in wet"T standoff due to evolution skipping the letter ‘H’ "


Malfeasance continued unabated as wandeljw desecrates…
