Fub! Do you know this word? If nobody knows the meaning of fub, it
will become The Word, and I will ask you to give both a definition and
a quote from Shakespeare. Fub fub fub. I like saying fub.
As for the dogdrave, I was inspired of course by wolf tone, but also
by the bizarre stringed instrument known as the Trumpet Marine (or
Tromba Marina). I've been obsessed with trumpets marine ever since I
saw one in the musical instrument collection at the Metropolitan
Museum. It has a bridge which is deliberately designed to buzz,
adding a brassy sound from which it takes its name.
