Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It was new to me when I saw it (streaming, not in person). Doesn't seem it would generate much sound.

Playing Tympani in the Sympani? Or Tymphony in the Symphony?

Adopting a Greyhound meant we signed an agreement specifying we'd have a fully enclosed yard. And they checked.

Summon Composer Jones and query her on whether the vibraphone is a string or percussion instrument.
