Im sure this conversation is open to everbody but I should shut up and just learn from what you folks say. I identify with probably the least marginalized of cultures but dire to understand our world better.
Btw, @markchappelle I noticed youre an ethnomusicologist! Fascinating! Your discipline and mine, ethnobotany, meet with a hearty handshake; theyre both studies of peoples 😁
Sometimes the musicology and the botany overlap where the instruments are made of plants!
@markchappelle I didn't think about that.
