drone

A recovering cynic, adequate fingerstyle guitarist of forty-odd years, and inferior fiddler of several years, residing in Ottawa, Canada, grateful that the tunes perpetually playing in his head do a fine job of drowning out the "voices".
One of the faceless billions of entities bleating into cyberspace under the altogether delusional supposition that, even had I anything worthwhile to say, that anybody would be listening, or even care. That said, Music is the Answer.
Life is grand - nice to have been invited.
Drone: the somewhat pointless male (bee) sponges off the hive until the queen uses him for her own selfish sexual purposes, and then, unprepared to the utmost, he is driven out to his impending death. Also a single (mono) tone that goes on and on... and on ...and on... I could go on, but...

Behold: handy threads listing "essential" reels, jigs, hornpipes:
