Tess Kincaid challenges me each week and I as usual I am stumped with the next one #84. <br /><br />Dr. FTSE - NO, I don't play the Oboe or any instrument anymore (I used to play the violin) but I was doing a bit of research for this poem and I came across the fact that the snake charmers are not supposed to stop the sound and have to learn a way to breath continuously. Someone referred to it as "circular breathing". My daughters and I have had fun trying to figure this out... I'm sure we look quite funny to all the other people as we wait in the car at traffic lights trying to figure it out! :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-37326777684553831302011-09-22T15:50:17.546-04:002011-09-22T15:50:17.546-04:00very visual and hot piece.very visual and hot piece.Linda Bob Grifins Korbetis Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546696605935159862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-11144777752771733402011-09-22T09:12:23.183-04:002011-09-22T09:12:23.183-04:00temptation succumbed to.
