ngh: The Caucasus is amazing with its mix of languages. I had a couple of Georgian friends in NYC. There are some consonant clusters in Georgian that you basically can only make if you learned the language from birth.

sluglu: Yeah, those language clips are addictive.

Ha. I am moving soon, which inspired me to write about it (and about leaving the Bay Area). I am going to miss him most I think. It's half story/half personal essay really. I've started a music memoir-ish type project. I'll post a link when it's done (very soon). :)
