 I began a new hobby in June this year, at the height of the lockdowns - mastering the ocarina. I bought a 7-hole egg pendant, a max range double ocarina which plays like a 6-hole English Style pendant, and a 12-hole Thomann C1 tenor ocarina in red. The latter is a plastic instrument, rather than ceramic, but it's been good for me since i received it on 2020-06-22.

(I'm buying another new one, an Elf's Ear ocarina from STL, 12-hole transverse, but that's a story for another day).

Within 24 hours of trying out the ocarina I have since come to call Big Red, I was already picking out my first tune by ear, from memory. The traditional Welsh song Myfanwy, by Joseph Parry (1875).

I had to pick it out by ear, because the singsheet for it - the tabs - were not available on the internet, or anywhere really.

Until today.

Behold.
Myfanwy, gan Joseph Parry

I love this video, especially the background music.

All right, then, anyone here an Eighties fan? Remember the New Romantics (aka Goths who could afford the colour license)?

If you remember the New Romantics, do you remember Visage, which used to be the "hardcore" New Romantics, if such a movement could be said to have a hardcore?

Anybody?

No?
