i suppose you can tell me apart from my dad by my laziness and lack of capitalization (that's a weird word...i think i spelled it wrong)

actually, i don't care much for accordions...probably something to do with the fact that several time is my youth, my father decided playing the accordion at four in the morning would be a good alarm to get me up for swimming lessons (don't ask him, he'll just deny it!)

they're not so bad really...it's just at four in the morning, one doesn't really want to hear much of anything...and accordion music comes pretty high on the list of certain types of sounds you particularily DON'T want to hear.

on the other hand, if i learn to play accordion, i could be the one waking DAD up at four a.m....now that's an idea.

supposedly i'm learning to play guitar. i think i've suposedly learned about five songs so far...supposedly...they all used to be favourites of mine before i murdered them, too. *sigh*

They're both Breton instruments, LH. The biniou being (I think?) the bag pipe; the bombarde is like a chanter with better aim. Although 'better' is a relative description. The bombarde is the musical equivalent of the military bombard - particularly after a long night of pan-celtic revels. [[ooo, me 'ead]]

Oh, yeh. And the Bretons express their celtic contrariness by playing them in duets.

Well, LH, Bombarde & Biniou are the two instruments that always play together in Breton dance music, (an dros, hanter dros, dance plinns, etc.). The Bombarde is somewhat like an oboe and has a high-pitched reedy sound. The Biniou is the Breton form of the bagpipe, played by such folks as Patrick Molard. The Biniou is also very high pitched. Together, they should not listened to at high volumes, as they would probably rupture your eardrums. But I think they are awesome.

Breton bands such as Bagad Breig and Bagad Kemper are massed Biniou bands, that play like massed Highland Pipe Bands, except for the higher pitched instrument. There is a lot of it on Dan Ar Braz's album Héritage des Celtes that has folks from Brittany, Scotland, Ireland, England, and Galicia playing together. "Call To The Dance" features a Biniou massed band (with harmony!) along with Dan Ar Braz playing the traditional melody on his electric guitar.

I helped out with sound for Windbags when they were in my town, about a year ago Christmas time, I think.

It was in a church with lively acoustics. We amplified everyone else, but we did not amplify the Bombard. Even then, it hurt people's ears.

An accurate description of a bombard is, that it is like listening to a finely tuned Elk dying in an overly 'hammed up' amature dramatics version of Hamlet. It's loud, painful and seems never to stop.

I actually quite like them. I am of the opinion that they should be listened to in large numbers ( it's the rock child in me ) though not necessarily indoors.

I think LTS meant Celine Dion's throat...or Britney Spears'...not mine.

Some would categorize my hair as "long", depending on where they think "short" ends and "long" begins. It is longer than that of most males these days, but shorter than MMario's. However, he ties his long hair back most of the time, thus making it look shorter than mine, IMO. I once had hair as long as Mario's, but eventually went for the bushy Dylan look instead. It's the dragged-backwards-through-a-barbed-wire-fence look. I like it. Sometimes I get an urge to go for a shorter cut, but only occasionally.

This happens more or less annually. It is longish now. When I do get it cut, it is with the extreme setting on the shears.

Been thinkin' though...what if I went without a cut for a couple of years and then had a fundraising shear-off to raise money for some charity or another. My sister did this for the Girl Guides. Shaved her head clean, she did. The church choir could use some cash...

Well,

#1.) Liam & Noel do NOT have long hair. Medium, but not long. Not as long as LH's.

#2.) Original rhythm guitar player Paul Arthurs was known as "Bonehead" since he was a child, because of his very short hair. Shorter than mine.

#3.) My love of Oasis has nothing to do with fashion.

Don't let the hair fool you, Amergin. Little Hawk is quite a manly man. You should have seen him fending off hoards of admiring young females in the Toronto subways with nothing to protect him but his guitar.

Nah. If they had been guys with long hair, I would have had to fend them off. ;-)

Yeah. But it would have been ok, though. I had flattop there to protect me, too. He's a very powerfull and intimidating looking guy. People don't mess with him too much.

Yes, he is one brutal piece of work, isn't he, Carol? If the massive muscles and the towering stature weren't enough to put someone off, his acid tongue is more than sufficient to reduce them to a quivering heap! I make it a point to take flattop along whenever I am required to play acoustic music in the seedier types of bars, such as those frequented by local biker gangs. He just curls his lip in a slight sneer and they shove off right fast!

y'know, I think this thread has about run its course....

Carol - LH hoards young ladies? I never knew that!

LH - um, you have just described flattop as "towering" after we've spent considerable effort to persuade 'catters that he is only a foot tall... and blue-skinned. And as for people being scared of him... well, it could be his size, I suppose. After all, short people can hit you *very easily* where it hurts. Not having to stoop to a low blow can be a frightening advantage over more unfortunate, taller people.

Not to worry, hesperis. Little Hawk was a perfect gentleman, and he remained steadfast and true to his beautiful sweetheart.

Things looked pretty desperate for a little while there, but Little Hawk took out his guitar and started singing 'Elvis Loves Me', and they quieted right down. That's when we made good our escape.

I know there is quite a bit of controversy raging over flattop's actual stature. Sometimes people get the impression that he's taller than he is because of his amazingly impressive build.

I hope these pictures of flattop in his role of professional body builder, 'Professor Atilla' will set the record straight.
