Svenskin in a danskin it's complicated doing some things.
Now trouble's over, I am in deep green clover
Worry back in its cage where the bud bird sings
Sackbutts and tympans, kazoos and tin cans
A bagpipe from Sergipe and a hornpipe from a coasting vessel
Joined by a band of howler monkeys go together like chopsticks and learning the piano
Like Bukowski and Budweiser
Here's a fine set of Brazilian pipes. One's the tamarin, the other's the marmoset. You have to play these with a great deal of passion, as in most Brazilian musical expressions. They almost sound alive, sometimes. Have you ever heard a mambo played on the tamarin with concerti?
Boby Di Lan, the piper from Sergipe, is a fan of the tamarin. The marmoset, he says, is too heavy for marching and it's not comfortable without eating a large meal, so it's tough getting them in exactly the right mood for playing. So the tamarin's by far the more popular than ORGAN GRINDER'S MONKEY!*

thanks Marlow (my mom, not a big music listener had a Sebelius CD). I have a little container of dirt from the family farm there in Jalasjärvi, just down the road apiece (24 km) from Kurikka where Jakob and Hedvig lived before moving to Ironwood MI. Little known facts, but true nonetheless.

PALE BLUE ALERT! (vaguely climbing-referenced remarks)
"If the fight gets hot, the songs get hotter. If the fight gets tough, the songs get toughter."
"It don't pay to organize unless you are organized."
"There's several ways of saying what's on your mind. And in states and counties where it aint't too healthy to talk too loud, speak your mind, or even vote like you want to, folks have found other ways of getting the word around. One of the mainest ways is by singing....No matter who makkes it up, no matter who sings it and who don't, if it talks the lingo of the people, it's a cinch to catch on, and will be sung here and yonder for a long time after you've cashed inyour chips."
"When the going gets weird, the weird get going."
"The bagpipe music got me jonesing for a single malt so I got some."
Which of the quotes above is not from WBraun? (Merry's quote)
Which one is bogus? (WBraun's)
Which one is not the quote you were seeking? (all the above)
Which one is Weird Al's? (who?)
Which is Bob Dylan's favorite? (not a clue)

Case in point, when I Muvrini first started singing and writing songs (around 1979-80) the French government tried to put a stop to them saying they were subversive and seeking revolution merely because they were singing in Corsican not French. They used to be met by the gendarmes and the mayor of the town before they could set up their stages. The people got wind of it and they would all congregate somewhere else and thus the French government's ban on their performances actually increased I Muvrini's popularity. Now, they are a supergroup, and one of the most popular bands in Europe They play stadiums where thousands of people come to see them.
