Sharp

cactus spines.  No imagination here.  In another part of Arizona I might have snapped cholla which is particularly sharp and tenacious.

      I had a productive day yesterday.  I was watching Dan Davis' High Roads, a half hour travelogue programme touting AAA but with glimpses of places to visit,  when there was a short clip of a dulcimist playing The Girl I Left Behind (Me)  the simplified version with words of Brighton Camp  So there's another tune I can sort of play now.  That led me to another tune which I know not the name.  And so it goes.
