In the etymology section of the dictionary, I came across the phrase, "Skunking the cobbler," described as a childhood prank of setting a some asafetida alight and then pushing it through a gap in the cobbler's stall.

I think they are based in NYC. sori.nyc... - "The group’s unique freewheeling, polystylistic vision combines a variety of influences, including Anglo-American rock, Balkan gypsy, and genres from South America and Africa."

You're welcome Joe and yes! Actually they are based in South Korea Yeti Bob but they will be touring North America next year too - more at sori.nyc... . They explain the name on that page: "The name Coreyah is a Sino-Korean homonym that refers to the inheritance of the past and also in Korean means "whale"—the group's totem animal and good luck charm."

Yes in fact YB Sori NYC is Shawn Choi's company when he's not working his day job at Flushing Town Hall! Shawn is the young New Yorker responsible for bringing some interesting indie-folk-experimental bands from S. Korea to North America.

Cheers, Rob! I've mentioned elsewhere that family gatherings included our Ukrainian family friend on guitar, my dad on harmonica and spoons, and our cousin on accordion. Lots of exotic gypsy melodies were played.

Hi, does anybody know the track Joe used as background track between One Fine Morning & Standing with You? It's the one with just two chords and a kick and some hi hat as a beat. It's so great, I look forward to it every Monday! Sound Hog doesn't recognize it unfortunately... :-( I would appreciate if someone knew it. Many thanks.
