Snarf!!!!!! This made me bray like a donkey, imagining it! >Once I was playing a cello and Missy managed to actually climb in >through the f-holes (they were large and Missy was a tiny girl), >then poke her nose out again in great satisfaction. Took quite some >time (and some ferretone) to get her out.<< I'd imagine so, the stringed instruments like that (violin, viola, cello, viola de Gamba, etc. Are there more?) all have a wonderful resiny, piney smell. I'd want to climb in, if I'd fit. Now, poor Marilyn Manson. He actually *is* a great musical talent. The problem is that he caters to the niche of "music fourteen year old boys play to drive their parents nuts." I had a lot more respect for him before the drug problem became evident. Drugs. How boring. How typical. (Sigh...) I can imagine ferrets bopping to Bobby McFarren...he does kind of dook along. A ferret that likes Stevie Ray, BB King, AND Stravinsky? That is an awesome weasel. Are you sure he wasn't a mink? He had mink taste. This was interesting, the part about digging in rhythm. >>He loved to be sang to and would actually dig in time to the music playing while he was creating havoc.>> I can understand why tiny little ears don't like banging dissonance and over-amped bass. But *Frank Sinatra*? Mine hate *Frank Sinatra.* Perfect pitch, dulcet tones. No electric guitars. Sometimes a decent Big Band in the background. They *hate* Sinatra singing "Stardust." Maybe it's just too slow to dig to. (This begins with a 1943 ad for Lucky Strike, it's not Sinatra babbling behind a tobacco leaf!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlujPZ64ZvI&feature=related Alexandra in MA [Posted in FML 5995]
