I'm happy enough about that; just a tiny gratification
in what we hope will be a long chain.
Unfortunately for some friends, so is Houston now. I think the
Nationals are still up partying. I was mainly rooting for seven
games.
I was rooting for the TV to be off when I went to a
tavern. Hard to find when Strasberg, being a San Diego
boy, made the Nationals the de facto home team.
Possibly just as well someone else is using it then.
I have a mild preference that someone had compensated
me for it, though.
Yeahwell.
My life has not been money-centered, but it's getting to the
point where a bit of pennypinching is in order, and regrets
about some things like that begin to grate.
How much silver goes into your average bow? None. I
have one with a couple grams maybe, but that's all.
Oh, yeah, sometimes the windings near the frog that
help keep a grip on the stick were silver wire, but
that would be hard to mark.
Those two or three grams in a band or a cap are enough if you're a
Brit.
As I recall the one with a couple grams doesn't have a
silversmith mark, though the wood is maker-stamped at
the frog.
said The older the fiddle, the sweeter the music. Which
I've discovered isn't necessarily true in any of the
possible senses.
Especially when it's an old, cracked fiddle like most of US.
Speak for yourself!
You're an older fiddle yet - positively Renaissance-era. I'm more
recent but shop-worn.
As fiedels and rebecs were not so highly strung, perhaps
not quite so cracked, though.
I like sparkly stuff, but not those cutesy figurines.
I hope you draw the line somewhere short of Swarovski.
I have one, but it's a cat. I have no problem selling them to
someone who actually likes them, but I'm only keeping the cat.
I had only the violin, but I think it went to Goodwill.
Michael Learned was the mother on The Waltons.
That's a show I probably never saw any episodes of.
I watched it all the time as a little kid.
I looked at the Avengers and the Addams Family, because I
thought Carolyn Jones and Diana Rigg were hot. Gunsmoke,
on accoumt of Miss Kitty, though I didn't care for loud
nouses, of which there were many. Not much else. Huntley
and Brinkley or Cronkite once in a while, when the Russians
or Americans were getting weird.
