Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
"So tell me, David:    What, to your mind, should I be allowed to sing?" (Don)...the only way I'd like to answer that is by saying, strictly hypothetically, if I'd stayed rather than visited America in the 90s, I'd probably be listening to Amerindian chants, drums, and flauting; and attempting Country/Rock...perhaps having a go at the lap-steel (although the ones that require co-ordinating feet and knees, as well as both hands!, would probably be beyond me, frankly), e.g. But, as an Englishman, I enjoy LISTENING to the likes of Bon Jovi, The Beach Boys, some Country singers, etc, as well as Amerindian musicians, such as those on my Top Friends.

Diane - "Flower of Scotland" includes the line "those days are gone now", before looking forward.

(P.S:, for what it's worth, I thought Scotland, who finished the stronger, were a tad unlucky to lose to S.A.)
