feste, we adore you for adoring us and emptyB, we adore you for having a
healthy respect for our trickiness which of course we had to develop to survive
living with those big strong hairy cavemen prone to slinging us over their
shoulder.
In his workshop music man Edwin Coppard from Victoria teaches that since cave
days, women fight dirty. We had to have strategies and abilities to protect
the young because we were the last line of defense when the men of the tribe
were off hunting or warring.
Edwin still has a bit of a Cockney accent and he used much more colorful
language which I will leave to everyone's imagination. If only to spare Buck
who makes me smile just about every single day (-:
