   SSSSSSH ! Never tell the cat ! Folklore sez it'll

   In any case, yea ... "music" for humans is often
   "torture" for a number of other creatures with

   Maybe some country+western ?
   Foggy Mountain Breakdown ONE MORE TIME Guys !
   Banjo ... personally don't mind 'em. Great
   for "BlueGrass" but can be used for other.
   Hmmm ... remember AC/DC properly using a
   BAGPIPE in a top-rated song and Paul Simon
   blended a number of native African instruments
   and rhythms into an album. George Harrison
   liked the sitar (I kinda do too). Literally
   a world of sonic opportunities out there.
   But the cat may GETCHA for it !
