I use the terms "fingerstyle" and "fingerpicked" interchangeably, but I see some people have different definitions. What do you think? I removed Rumpus's perch but she's still here, just a little lower for her own protection.

This will probably be the last song I post with Rumpus. She hit 17 years old a couple weeks ago, and while she's overall happy and healthy, her legs are getting stiff and even the little jump up and down from her perch is a little dangerous. One spill and if her legs get any damage...that may be it. My wife feels it's too dangerous and since my room is too small to build up a good ramp the perch has come down. She'll still be here, though, just probably not on video.

Something a little different. Skip on by if you're not into current events/politics but I have varied interests so be patient with me. Former Professor Peter Boghossian does what he calls "street epistemology." Here he is confronted by a bunch of folks that don't like his performance. How does he do? Watch with me!
