old guy at the next drawing board would turn off his hearing aid while
he was working and recite monologues to himself. Most of them were
obscene, but one which was his favourite, took to form of a letter
from a soldier in the trenches writing h ...

Russian band 'Melnitsa'
Fri, 9 May 2008 19:46:20 +0100
This is probably a long shot, but does anyone here know where I might

recognised.
Thanks,

"sipsi" (folk clarinet) in Turkey and Wales
Fri, 09 May 2008 10:25:46 +0100
I have a few notes on the Turkish folk clarinet called the "sipsi"
on my website: http://www.campin.me.uk/Music/Sipsi/ . Last night

the same name.
Interesting because the area o ...
