the kantele

Finnish national instrument

{you would think it's at least possible someone that old might have accomplished something toward a proficiency at some aspect of playing that kantele there. it's either that or the clownish abrasion of insistence in the incompetent has-been, the too far gone, but we're trained to discount him going in, from the get, he's old, and therefore already, without one note's register, he doesn't matter.
see it for what it is. a trivialization of the old and a sanctification of the young, coupled with a thorough and systematic sundering of the great chains of knowing, the natural lines of being that came with us from the dawn of human time.}
