Like my photo?
I was playing with my new computer and used every effect in the whole program to come up with this little beaut.

Imagine If....
This came up in conversation the other night as Brona Graham was changing her banjo strings in a session. She had elected to change one at a time, separated by sets of tunes, and remarked - "Imagine if you had to change a string after every set of tunes?"
Which begs the following questions?
Imagine if you had to relearn every tune after you played it once?
Imagine if you had to restring your bow after every session?
Imagine if you had to reoil your flute after one set?
Imagine if you had to retune your boxy thing (a button box, a piano box, a concertina box, a melodeon box) every week?
Imagine if you had to retune your pipes after every time there is any minute change in any one of a number of conditions?
Wait, that last one actually happens. It's not nice to make fun of the insane.
