'I guess the deer-hoof percussion doesn't make it into the busking bands? Wonder why... '

Here is a possible explanation.

My husband likes percussion. He also has a very keen sense of smell. One Christmas, a friend gave him a set of those hooves, but the smell almost knocked him over. I put them outside for six months or so to air out. When the six months were over, he said they smelled just as bad, so we threw them away.

(I never smelled anything wrong with them.)

As for Andean music, I like it. I have been to several concerts, and I have a number of recordings. There is plenty of variety to the music, and much beauty. I believe that 200 years from now, our rock music, pop music and academic (contemporary classical) music will be dismissed with a paragraph, and the music of the Andes will be praised as the most worthwhile our era produced.
