Sister Jabou,
Has this cultural poem of fiddles touched you also? It is just a simple message to a brother of mine -a gentleman who is loved by all - covered in a wedding gown. To me, he is ever a watchman. To others, he is that open kind-hearted spirit. The kind of culture I am from is a rich one. It is fiddles that talk like humans bashing historic events like they occurred yesterday. That is the case with the simple cultural memo. I am glad you like it. Please excuse the manner of the forwarding especially when the computer is acting up.
