I don't think people will be that forth-willing to reveal that info.

--- End quote ---
OK, take two diatonic harmonicas (one in G and the other in C). Split each one in half, and then put one half of each of them on opposite sides of a bellows.
That's an (anglo) concertina. The pic below is disturbingly identical to my own. I picked it up over 20 years ago, and play by ear. There's tabulatio, but dammit, I have no idea how to even think about how it's played - it just feels right, since the minute I picked it up in the store and sounded out Black Nag. And I can get some pretty amazing harmonies on it. Your fingers can do things a mouth could never do on a harmonica.
Except, of course, bending a note...
Edit: I now love the word forth-willing.

I've seen a few interesting buskers in my town, which is surprising for such a small, sleepy place. Fiddle and accordion, saxophone, even one guy with a gaita (Galician bagpipes). He was awesome. Never seen an erhu on the streets though, that'd be pretty cool.
And across Europe, particularly in medieval cities like Strasbourg or Antwerp, you can find traditional folk bands busking with bouzouki and balalaika and hurdy-gurdy and dulcimer and all manner of fantastic instruments. Many of them are accomplished and talented musicians who don't need to busk, but street music is a fine tradition that need not be let die.

--- Quote from: Tova on 22 Jun 2012, 06:59 ---I will never understand the level of Marten hate around here.
--- End quote ---
I think it's along the same reason why people hate Charlie Brown at times.
--- End quote ---
I should clarify. I know why people hate him. I just don't understand it. If that makes sense.
If I did something I regretted, and then saw someone else doing the same thing, I might want to stop them from doing it, but I would hardly hate them.
Is it a self-hate thing?
(Serious question - not trying to be rude about it, sorry if it comes across that way)
Is it cold in here?:
Someone who tries to cope with shame by fleeing the memory might be hurt, then fearful, then angry, at being reminded.
