Miscellany

The mass production of cheap accordions.

Something really useful and solid.

Busy, hip, and cluttered.

The modern ballad of the humpback whale.

Is that a flute in your pocket?

Choking on the fruit.

Don’t lose hope.

Stuck with the Greeks.

Beware the comet-flute.

Bob Dylan, Peeping Tom.

The 600-year-old butt song from hell.

The rawness of her voice.

The tender brains of children.

Six sharp notes.

Greater than the New World.

The musical bat.

Lifetime performance rights.

A score of 1-8.

The song of annoyance.
