The blog that's not popular with cleaners.

 Good morning. 

I'll have to make this fairly quick this morning because I have to be places a little later on this morning.

A place I don't have to be at
a little later this morning.

I'm sure that there are people who are quite happy reading this blog. It seems that cleaners are not among these people. One of them wrote, "Robert sits having a coffee in the staff cafe. He's reads part of RBBs blog to Tau. She shows no interest apart from a polite chuckle and puts on some Pacific Island music. It starts with a trumpet call."

I must admit that I don't listen to a lot of Pacific Island music, and I don't know whether Robert is referring to a European style trumpet or some form of traditional Pacific Island horn. 

I do know that they use this instrument.

This is not a traditional
Pacific Island instrument
and the way the notes are
'placed' comes from Europe.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with cultures progressing their art forms by borrowing from other cultures. The instruments I have at home were not invented in Aotearoa, but I was. Though it is good to acknowledge the overseas influences on the music you like to immerse yourself in. When you use a guitar, a tempered instrument, your 'traditional' music is going to have to adjust. It's going to have to be quite a bit more European.

So, how does all this fit in with reading, and enjoying, Richard's Bass Bag*?

It doesn't really. 

Hey, but maybe Tau was a bit fast to judge? Maybe morning tea wasn't the best time to be ignoring your workmates and putting your thoughts into reading? I don't know. Maybe the blog just wasn't Tau's cup of tea. No morning tea pun intended.

Well, Robert is a cleaner too. So far, as far as I know, 2/2 cleaners have not liked this blog.

Maybe I just need to issue a warning?

Caution! This blog it not recommended for cleaners!

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Though, on the positive side, it does seem to get people listening to different styles of music.

Ciao tutti.
