I tried to play it a few times -- the less spoken about the better, I think.<br /><br />We actually have a Fiddler's Green in the county, which is not famous, but I have heard of it. A miserable groups of discouraged settlers trekking into the Canadian Wilds from Lake Ontario sat downhearted and discouraged. Someone took out his fiddle to cheer everyone up. <br /><br />I don't know if there was a tune called Fiddlers Green in our playbook when I tried to play, but if there was, I don't think it was popular.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-8407745299656121632018-01-31T07:16:52.249-05:002018-01-31T07:16:52.249-05:00I'm most impressed by your derring do and just...I'm most impressed by your derring do and just tend to hang on to what's still working.<br />I've already got the CD player and enough CDs to singalong with LOUDLY... and BADLY while I'm cleaning or painting.<br />I'm not sure the gadget would pick just the right awful heartbreaking Cuban songs required.SmitoniusAndSonatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210817141287881808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-82783260059301351242018-01-31T06:12:42.810-05:002018-01-31T06:12:42.810-05:00Nice Blog....<a title="Nice Blog....
