Quoting song lyrics is what I do. 🤣

I recently learned the bass part to Mele Kalikima. It is fun to play. I don’t think it is as well-known as other Christmas songs. But it is catchy.

Thanks.

My surname isn't so most people don't know. But I'm three-quarters Icelandic in ancestry. Manitoba has one of the highest populations of Icelandic people outside of Iceland.

Nice. I am a typical American mutt. Mainly English, but also Dutch and Slovakian and some other European countries mixed in (I think.) My mother in law did some ancestry and said my family came over from England when the states were still Colonies and our sir name was Sterling. Which eventually morphed into Starlin. Who knows why?
