    Brings me back... My grandfather played the accordion. My sister and I liked it so much we started to play too as kids, but my mom didn't really have the money to get us our instruments so my grandfather actually got us each one... Still love the instrument

    Es tan curioso ver las técnicas "equivocadas o cambiadas" que hay en diferentes regines para tomar el violín. Aquí en México también se usa el violín en muchos tipos de folklores, desde el mariachi, el huasteco, el violín de matlachines, los sones jarochos o los sones del Istmo de Tehuantepec, y en todos lados donde se ve un violín folklórico de la región, la técnica en la toma del violín está errada, lo toman mal, lo tocan con una mala postura, pero lo interesante es que les funciona para lo que quieren que suene, supongo que es parte de... Por otro lado,, igual llegué aquí por lo sexi que se ve la chica violinista jeje ups, muy hermosa la chica, linda figura, linda voz, mucho talento.

      michael Case actually, they didn't settle there by their own will. The british torn our ancestors families apart during what we call "La grande déportation" or The Great Expulsion in english. While some of us stayed here in what we call Quebec (french-canadians), with Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI, others got deported to Louisiana.

Les celtes sont aussi passés par chez nous. Il y aurait comme une arche qui rejoindrait la Bretagne et l'Alsace .A l'intérieur (la France), on nous traite facilement d'allemand, et vous seriez des sous hommes chassés par les saxons. Bon, chez nous, on a de vraies vallées et montagnes refuges face à l'invasion des germains. Retenons notre commune valeur celtique la liberté!
