horsemouth left to his own devices (ten minutes too late)

le beau voir et loutre (mild confusion on the banks of the owenabue river).

as you know for a while predictive text has been rendering horsemouth’s employment as otter (such as can be seen in statue form in the new town square at carragline - though the town’s signature animal is the egret). as you also know horsemouth has successfully sourced a picture of a pig playing bagpipes and medieval gargoyles in cathedrals feature donkeys playing harps. out of such materials are the new musicians of bremen formed.

last night horsemouth was out and about in cork - a session at sin-e, a singing of ten minutes too late, 3 fiddlers, a flute player, a guitarist, a banjo-player, a button accordeon player... and more people kept arriving with boxes, a harpist, a union-pipes player.

horsemouth will shortly be left to his own devices. he will wander out towards crosshaven. he has brought the sheet music for luys milan’s fantasia xxii - fantasia del octavo tono - and found videos of people playing it on youtube - perhaps he can learn to play it. ok it does get a bit fiddly towards the end...
