Got a fresh pot in the kitchen, help yourself...

Well, I dodged the court bullet again. This sure will be much ado about nothing if the whole 6 weeks goes by like this. My internal reaction to the phone was funny. When I heard the ole Judge Kahne say we wouldn't be needed this week and to call in next week, it was like somebody announced that school was closed for the next week. Do a little happy dance, I got a week off...

So anyhow - I'm going golficating this morning... :cool:

Any number of side bets are available. Pick the one that looks like a sure winner and get your money out... :)

  • how many holes will I make - 9, 3, 7? One? :eek:
  • Its a par 36 - I'd like to break 50...
  • I will be injured
  • How many balls will I lose (hint - there's a par 3 surrounded by water.)

(This list tool is wierd - won't use it again...)

I hope you all have a good day.

Here's musical party to hopefully give it a start... :)

Potatoes and Irish whiskey seem to be a better diet for the women than for the men...er...old grumps...er whatever.

Morning Blooze and Family!

I've been a bit busy over the last few days. Up early and running most of the time.

Thanks for the rousing wake-me-up music this morning. And I hope you enjoy your golficating. Those golfs are hard little buggers to kill. ;)

Morning El.

Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday. :cool:
 
So you took 'em serious when they said get the triglycerides up, huh?

Good on ya... I am in need of trying to reclaim this wreck myself. I hoping the golf will suffice. I have always been opposed to running unless there was something large, mean, and hungry behind me...

Have a good one Mav...

Hey, I'm glad that you have the court vacation so you can get out and play a bit. It is a little cooler here. I hope it is down there as well.

:D

The weather is much more civil here as well. Anything before lunch is actually quite nice.

From the pages of "Hindsight is 20/20", I sure am glad I gave the stand bag with the back pack type harness to one of Anne's nephews. My other bags are big clunky bags that only a caddy or a cart can carry. Now I won't be tempted to walk a course carrying my clubs.

I still have a hand cart tho. I need to give that away soon... :cool:

Something more traditional for a change. Cretan Pentozali, the Cretan Lyra played by a gifted young boy.

When the men dance, the second in line stands still to support the first one doing the figures.

Morning Family :) :rose:

That is so cool... I love folk dancing!

Hey, I notice 3 instruments behind the kid that were being played like a guitar. One even had a pickup in the sound hole like a guitar. What are they?

~~Pssst - I am trying to find a place in Tulsa that teaches American Folk dancing, i.e., Buck Dancing - don't tell anybody...~~

Well, I have girded up my loins, tossed me a sack of swords into the back of my trustee steed...

I am off to do battle with the "Golf"!!!

~~I hope it doesn't hurt me...~~

mum's the word...

Guess it's Bouzouki, a versatile instrument http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouzouki

Here is a performance by a contemporary player http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3HwVmWU5oU

and here is Manolis Chiotis, playing in a Greek film dating from the 60ies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCRYUJPiMyM&mode=related&search=

The tiny instrument that the second guy plays towards the end is a Baglamas :)


:rose: :kiss:

Santouri :)

This is the best I could find http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-WpN-H4x0I&mode=related&search=

It downloaded very slowly for me. But you can hit on Pause and leave it to download while you do something else, then you can hear it without annoying interruptions.



.
oops....sorry. Thats who it was spelled on the website. I'll have to tell him to get it changed.

Well that instrument goes by different names all over the world. It is a staple part of much of Irish music...well atleast the stuff I listen to. :D

Try this on for size

You know what's funny here? The guy Karmal playing the santouri is the spitting image of a boyfriend I used to have in my early 20ies. I mean, they could be twins!! :D

There is such a thing as TOO FAST....and that guy definately hit it. You couldn't even hear the notes he was playing....Not sure he even knew what notes he was hitting.



True. I still like the Santouri/Guitar duo best :)

Similar to a hammered dulcimer that is common in old American folk music derived from Irish tunes.
That was my point...it pretty much IS a Hammer Dulcimer
