I, SeadogDriftwood, am a piano teacher and ESL instructor living in Toronto, Ontario. My primary interests are in Historical Linguistics, especially but far from exclusively Indo-European, and Western art music (from the late Mediaeval and Renaissance onward) along with various folk musics, particularly Tuvan throat singing.
