While my ukelele gently weeps Who said the ukelele was dead as a serious rock instrument?

jonmc did. But I think he was just being detached and ironic.

Go ahead, say insouciant. We're all adults here.

Heh. I was just working on a Hawaiian music CD from the 1930's this morning. Now I'm back with three Bulgarian Folk reissues from the 50's. I have a sudden urge to churn butter.

Is that a euphemism?

posted by Armitage Shanks 12 December | 14:24

Sadly, no.

WTF do you do for a living jonmc, work in a music archive?

Actually...I'm an editor at a music database company. TrishaLynn is a co-worker. Or a cow-orker. or something.

Sweet Jesus that sounds tons more interesting than being an editor for a legal regulatory company.

you'd think so...

(actually, it has it's moments, but I basically fill out forms for a living. and we're all "editors." I'm a clerk more or less)

The wisest words ever said to me by a former supervisor as he was changing my job title in order to give me a raise: "Underneath it all, everybody's a clerk."

He was not a very wise man (which is why he kept giving me raises).

Jonmc: Cow-orker? Is this another one of those inscrutable inside jokes here?

Huh, I think my baby is actually a squid. The location of the ink sac would explain a lot.

Cow-orker.
