Humph - this thread just evaporated off the screen - playing SB's.

well I just found that I have been using something with a name to clean the chaff from the bird seed ( my family have kept psittacine birds since before I was born).

The basic concept is to collect the scattered seed from the shelves and pots, putting it into a bowl, then take a large wide bowl, put it on the ground and pour the seed into it letting the chaff blow away.

On the subject of playing music -

Whatever instrument is being played in whatever company basically it should not sound like something being tortured or that you have stumbled on an all night session about dawn.

If it is something people will remember with good feelings then it is OK by me (this is not at all the same thing as listening to a recording two weeks later when the atmosphere/alcohol has worn off)
