i heart trade-ins

i bought this crappy guitar to do some lessons for school and have never used it once.

then Laelia and i decided it might be nice to have an irish whistle in some of our music, which has the same fingering as the navajo flute i've been playing... oh yeah :)

so today i traded in the guitar to the folk shop and got a whistle with a book to play irish music!

Everyone! Go support The Folk Shop! It's awesome, and the guys there can play anything and everything :)

here's the epigraph in the beginning of the book:

"Listen to the story told by the reed,
of being separated.

'Since I was cut from the reedbed,
I have made this crying sound.

Anyone apart from someone he loves
understands what I say.

Anyone pulled from a source
longs to go back.

At any gathering I am there,
mingling in the laughing and grieving,

A friend to each, but few
will heart the secrets hidden

Within the notes.' "

-Rumi, from The Reed Flute's Song

it's a very inspiring little poem - way to go Rumi
