    This is so carefully performed, in your gentle style. It doesn't get better than this. Thank you, Graham. We have 8 parrots in our home, and there's an osprey and bald eagle, that we occasionally see or hear, who live in the wetlands behind us.

      @@Renaissance-Man-Ukulele Thanks for the kind words Cody, much appreciated. My Dad kept birds, budgies and canaries, he always said it was important to have a hobby, I chose music :-)

      @Bystander929 I agree with your dad. I never knew my father to own or buy anything for himself. He loved listening to baseball games on the radio, and he loved his grandson who also had a love of sports. My brother and I had no interest.
      Music was part of my education, traditional and religious. I never considered it a hobby. It's like reading and writing to me. If I define hobby as not ones vocation, then I guess it's a hobby now. Is reading then a hobby too?
