If you said, "William Congreve, 1697," you get 1,000 bonus points. If you said, "The actual quote is"
'Music has charms to soothe a savage breast;' and that famous line was uttered by a character in William Congreve's 1697 play The Mourning Bride," you get another 1,500 bonus points.
If you said, "He said, 'Breast,' heh, heh," you are a moron and lose all the bonus points you've accumulated in this lifetime.
A good day here in the Tropical Tip: breezy, mostly cloudy, but 79º. I got out on my bicycle, took Ruf for a short walk (the short part was his idea), then went out on my motorcycle. When I got back, I made a late breakfast (yes, the 1/1/1/1), then went into my music room. Joan and Rufus came in, and he got brushed while I provided the entertainment (some might say: "diversion." But, he was definitely soothed.
With the brushing done, he came and sat by my feet for the rest of the concert...
A crop to better show the furry boy...
For those keeping track, that is my Taylor 652 CE WHB Builder's Edition I'm playing. Yes, I still play wood guitars... especially this one. Guitar and mic run into a Bose S1 Pro; that's the small amp/PA I'll be taking to Mark's when we're in Arizona.
Our time here is getting short - down to single digit days before we head west.
Rufus likes the music... because he is such a good boy! ;-)
