Khomus

khomus@the-crossroads-inn.com

<p>Animist. Musician. NSFP (Not Safe For People). Majored in religious studies and minored in folklore, which basically means I know more about mythology than most people want to conceive of. It is neither normal nor practical, and I like it that way. I play, more or less well, a bunch of different instruments from around the world, it all began with khomus/Drummbel (A.K.A. the Jew&#39;s harp). Ich lann Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch. Ich schwetz bissel.</p>

    More recorder: Actual folk recorder playing, which totes exists, is really hard to find out about. Meet the sjofloyte, &quot;sea flute”, the Norwegian folk recorder, except sometimes it&#39;s just a standard manufactured alto.

I don&amp;#39;t think these people are Norwegian or even Scandinavian, but so far, I know nothing about them except this song exists, and it&amp;#39;s pretty cool. #Worldmusic https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kDV38CxNX4GhZxIzBmQIFgIpQ09lfu4z0 Looks like they have quite a bit of stuff out. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB66V1Yd5MxzgYsSBuhkrDA Anybody know anything about them? Like where are they from...

    Because of a chunk of the blind community essentially claiming the Mac is unusable by the blind due to various issues, (they are wrong obviously since I&amp;#39;m writing this post on one right now), I’ve set my Voiceover welcome message to “You will never be productive again”! Sometimes things will briefly say “X not responding&amp;quot;. Today&amp;#39;s message? &amp;quot;Spotlight is not responding. You will never be productive again”!
