I cant snap out of it. Everytime I look for cutie-pie pix, I see some teutonic verbiage.....

Ich bein un cutie-pie-ner or something like that...

Geez, Amar, are you gonna let on that Basel Switzerland is land of Early Music types, including many RECORDER players?? Cop to it, pal! Now, is that so cutie-pie??? Well, I guess recorders are sort of....well...tooty-pie or something.

In fact, I wonder if yer, like, the only whistler there! The rest of em are either in Baroque drag or yodeling somewhere out in the hills in lederhosen.....

Though not true, a fanciful mental picture brot to you by yer daily Weekender.

Dude, recorders are for lamers...(blümfeld...?)
The whistle community in Basel def isn't the largest, but I'm part of it, AND me don'ts even owns one of thems recorders!

Whatcha scared of, Reb?

Zubivka · Post by **Zubivka** » Mon Nov 25, 2002 5:16 pm

Weekender, you got me laughing to tears

However you're ethnologikally ganz wrong ; one doesn't yodel with dem blockflutes. Real mountaineers yodel only termite-less tibetan didgeridoo.
Which anyweg doesn't apply to Basel which is sorta the drain flush of them mountains

You're on really thin ice here, Amar: better watch your step.

Well, as our new Berkeley person can attest, we got quite a few of those Early Music types who migrate between Basel, here and New England, amusing the folk with male sopranos, weird shaped instruments (see Serpant thread) authentically researched out of tune clavichords and other costumed fun.

Amar, you covering for them or somethin? What about Brueggen and them? They're not in Basel anymore?? Maybe it was only summer school....

Naw, I knew that those yodelers and those horn guys were a different thing...hey I gotta Ricola right here at Weekender 'work" central.. But whistles would carry pretty good too! Ah, a home for my Chieftains A!

Early music types??? Never thought we had a name...
I always referred to the others as Mundanes, migrating or not...

I can type the ü too!!!

*feels stupid for only knowing 1 boring language*

Well, I *tried* to learn french in high school, I just don't remember any of it.

Micah,
Congrats for your Zueri-Duetsch ! Swiss-German forum ? Nah, start small, like with numbered ÜSGOTT threads...

You win to be vice-Rösti-pie just behind Amar (he' s asleep he-he

). Note he's also being second haggis-pie on Board, but you break even by entitling to be called horrorific chitterling-pie, which believe me is a pretty honorrendous causa cutesy.

Lorient festival is OK, quite varied. Expensive, however, having to pay for every concert. The O'Stravaganza stuff this year was quite a discovery if not 100% kosher trad'

.

I'm 100 km south of Lorient. Our local Irish festival will be around June 10 th '03. It's nothing comparable in size, but it's homely, lively and free.

Make sure to plan and see the other Brittany summer festivals, like tall-boats gatherings (Douarnenez first comes to mind ) ; there's always good Breton or Irish music around.
Let me know when you've got your dates scheduled.

PS : TelegramSam: come learn! We'll find you cutie-pie teachers, nothing boring
