Nothing raises the heart quite like the sound of the National Anthem played Badly, on Badly tuned instruments. You fists clench, your eyes fill with tears and you murmur "That's Badly, Badly done".
You know, I really thought that you would play the fiddle, but you are right about the fluffy quilted stuff.

I also forgot to say that I play the lagerphone really well. I had no idea until now that I so was multi talented.

Just as an aside, my baby brother recently had a conversation with a lady who asked him if I was his sister. When he said yes, she said that she used to teach me piano.. Then she told him, 'I don't think she liked me very much'. I didn't, she discovered I was playing by ear and rapped me over the knuckles with a ruler. Doesn't go down well with a 7yr old. Younger brother was very amused by this.
