Ashore. That's the good news. The bad news is that now I have time to go mow the lawn.
If I have solved the Puzzle,feel free to ask for a nudge. Always willing to pay it forward.

I am ashore. I'll have a 10-year tawny port to go with the river theme.

Your Rabbit is taking requests for popular music played on unpopular instruments.
This is Michalina Malisz, former member of Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie, playing "Nothing Else Matters" on the hurdy-gurdy. In singing, she is joined by the current frontwoman of Eluveitie, Fabienne Erni.

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

Bartender's choice mocktail, please. Give me a few more weeks and I can have a REAL cocktail! Can't wait!
Wheezy? Boy, baby brain is worst than I thought....that was supposed to be "wheezy"!!

Ashore, currently.

*Yes, I know it's the fining agent that matters yada yada yada. It's cold, refreshing, and in my fridge. I'm drinking it, vegan or not.

While that was not as Rube Goldberg as most of their videos, any video by Ok Go is Ok to Go by me!

Gee wiz, water water two weeks in a row. Better dilute it with scotch.

Ashore.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Ashore! Celebrating with an Atomic Torpedo IPA and cigar!
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

Your Rabbit is sorry for not being able to attend today's Zoom call. He is overwhelmed by all your suggestions of unorthodox musical performances on "You Tube", many of which he was unfamiliar with. This should go a long way in helping him get through these tough times with no nominees. Thanks to all!

I seem to like the ones like this, being those that I solve :) First one in a while I had the meta before the grid.

If you like a hoppy IPA from Pennsylvania, two of which will make the ground seem farther away than when you sat on the stool, for me it's a Perpetual from Tröegs. Santé!
