I was not really paying attention to this thread until I watched a
documentary of some "hillbilly" musicans in the Ozarks...and realized
that some of them were holding stringed instruments the "wrong"
way. Much like the debates over which end of an egg to crack, the
pictures reminded me that there are numerous paths in front of us.
One old man in the film, between target practice shots into a
cuspidor, commented that some "fella from down in one of the cities"
told him he was holding the guitar the wrong way, and that he told
the outsider "If you think it's that bad, you ought not be a listen'n'"
I wonder if folks south of the equator, where the toilet whirlpool is
backwards to north of the line find the width control counter-intuitive.
