Hi

I've been very quiet lately. Being happy will do that to you I suppose.

Lizzie and I are doing wonderfully. There is much laughter and music in our house.

On that, I have a new toy. I bought a bouzouki! Most of the new songs have been written on it, most I could play on guitar, but they wouldn't sound the same. Add the Cuatro and it will be Eric's Odd Instruments onstage at Duckon.

So, how is life with you? Does anyone read this anymore?

As far as I've been able to figure out the difference between an "Irish bouzouki" and an "octave mandolin" is what the person holding the instrument wants to call it, which usually has more to do with the musical tradition they're following than the physical instrument.
