No, Terri, it's not just you. Sometimes I love the mystery of things I don't understand or don't know well. I don't see why you'd attract flak for your choices. Passion is a very personal thing. Caitrin, that goes for you too!

mcmoo, could you describe an oud for me? Does it rhyme with loud? And Rick, what is a dulceola? Is it related to a dulcimore? I suppose I should know these things, but I was raised with flutes, clarinets and tubas.....
