To replenish the supply of ducks, we head out to Metzer Farms with friend Hua Jia Ming to pick up batch of pre-ordered ducklings.
Stay tuned to see how fast the little suckers grew up!

Seeing Papa’s post below, you might be wondering, “Gee, what’s a shakuhachi? What’s Hon Kyoku for that matter?!” Well, to answer both questions in the all-language language that is music, Here’s Pa tooting away on a Hon Kyoku piece called Ashi no Shirabe on the shakuhachi. . . in Widescreen!
Luke and I were walking home from playing on the mall when we were socially accosted by a lady with a clipboard. She smiled and said, “Hi there! Would you like to help the environment?” I said,…Continue reading ‘EcoMe’
You hear it day after day. Whenever you hear a statement that takes more than a few neurons of computation, you can easily brush it off with a “whatever.” Sure, it stings a bit for the person who made the statement, but “whatever” sayer puts up a verbal shield around himself protecting him from the venerable quirks, contortions and run-on sentences that goes along with English language. This makes it the Word of the Year. Plus, I hear it everywhere.
This “Word of the Year” award is reinforced by what you will say after you finish reading this post – “Whatever.”
When I was younger, I could appreciate most all forms of humor. Golly, I would laugh at the word “plunger.” (and could still do, if the timing was right) Thus, anytime Mama said anything with the right voice, I’d be laughing for days. (at least that’s what I remember)
However, in the past 4 years, during the time I was writing a dedicated monthly article in the Bluegrass Breakdown, my humor reached a …Continue reading ‘La la la’
We’ve all been there. Things get dirty. That’s happened to us.

In the kitchen, we have a cloth which we clean the table and counters with. For some reason, Mama gets sparkling …Continue reading ‘Cleanliness in Black and White’
Only once, did I push the boundaries of my stomach, which was at the buffet at the classy Chaminade. I wasn’t sure how much the bill would be, so I tried out almost every single thing there. (just a little bit of each, but it added up) Other than that, I’m usually always able to stop eating before I get full.
Anyway, there were two other occasions where I was had no idea …Continue reading ‘Topping it off…’
As you may know, when we play music on the mall, we play for charity. I was never warm to the idea, mainly ’cause I like money. However, now, the fun of playing on the mall is watching the people go by and giving stink eyes to the folks who just put in a dime (for charity to boot) or dump their penny purses into our charity bag. So, yeah, not by watching the money go in.
Anyway, recently, Mama’s been having a month+ long migraine and thus, playing bass with a booming banjo, high pitched mandolin and a foghorn for vocals wasn’t exactly the cup of tea the doctor ordered. So, being out of …Continue reading ‘Table for Four’
For those of us who read the Abbott Family Blog once every four days know that we have a full fledged music business. In this business, Luke is the president*, Mama is the social director, Papa is the Grand Mufti (who bring good advice and reminds us from getting to caught up in details), and I am the finance manager, which fulfills my two great passions in life: …Continue reading ‘Luke Being Financial’
