My Ocarina and Me

How many of you have played the video game Zelda? Then you know what an ocarina is? Good, I need not explain. Oh, I mistook the stony silence for nonverbal agreement. My bad. An ocarina is an ancient flute-like wind instrument. It played an important role in the history of dance. So you better be thanking it. And me seeing as how I've taken this historic instrument into my tutelage. Been going strong for a few weeks now and might even post some songs!


Ain't I cute?

      No game system...I need to get a super nintendo, that zelda was the best! but I also liked the first for the 8 bit nintendo. The only zelda that sucked was the first gameboy verson.

      What was your fav mister ditty?

      It's hard to say. Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time were both so good.

    Ben! Record me a song and I'll play it whilst I read this tender tale of vampires, evil robots, thinnies between worlds, doors that lead to nowhere and nowhen....then there's the rats, spiders, gunslingers, legless ladies, demons, and dogs who talk!! xo

    I feel like I know what an ocarina sounds like, but I may be wrong. I might have just dreamed about a similar looking instrument. I dream a lot.
