Sean, you're a fiddler,have you ever come across a ritti?
We saw Robert Plant last night, who was amazing, but one of the stars of the show was a Gambian guy, called Juldeh Camara, who played a one string fiddle, called a ritti. Amazing, haunting, blue grass, fiddling.
You should probably get one. You should certainly go and see Robert Plant. Rhythm *and* Blues. And Led Zep numbers.
On tour now, tickets rare, except in Blackpool, because northerners are odd.

Yep, it was, alone, or as part of the group.
And when I shuffle out of time to the music, I look like a twit. When a black guy, in a dark suit, a hat and smiling, carrying such a fiddle does it, he's coolness personified. So unfair.
