I play the albums. I get very annoyed when someone plays just one or two songs, and I get even more annoyed when someone plays only part of a song.

The origin of this character can be traced to the horn parts in Mahler's 2nd Symphony (beginning at 19:25 in this video) and, as often in Tond, a strange figure in a Hieronymus Bosch painting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eoz...

"Nanta Hornblower" is a title, not a name; the Morning Horn is taken very seriously in Kaii. However, this particular Nanta abandons her post at the beginning of the story (the Musicians Guild appoints another) and joins the others on a quest.

I've been posting about the #characters in my #TondSeries. Nanta is one of the original four, the first I made up nearly 50 years ago. Her role diminished in the rewrites until she was no more than a snarky comment from Tayon, but she's now a main character in MadStones. (cont.) #Writing #Fantasy

I once commented on something at a store, then realizing I was overexplaining, I said, "It's called mansplaining," and then proceeded to define the term. I thought it was a pretty funny save, but noboby laughed. Oh well, actually...
