Last Person #5

[Gerry Seymour]

Thought about that too, that is how Fernando Sor was suppose to have played the classical guitar. But it gets had to play some piece properly, not that I ever played any of the pieces I use to do properly in what was, at my best (and if I am being kind), a high level of mediocrity.

That still puts you well above anything I’ve reached. Mediocrity would be a late step up. I was looking at my semi-hollowbody yesterday thinking I need to dust it before I can use it. I think I need to practice more often.

Note my original statement was " thinking about taking my old Classical Guitar out of the case and giving it a go again". At this point I am pretty sure, should I do this, I will be at a high level of incompetence..

The thing about the classical over the electric or acoustic I use to play...many... many..... MANY moons ago...is that with the electric and acoustic you get to see how stupid your fingers on one hand can be....with the classical it gives you the opportunity to see how stupid your fingers on both hands can be....and I am certain that if I do take it out of the case and start attempting to play it again I am going to discover my fingers are now complete idiots...

With that said I still do play, played this morning, and enjoy playing the didgeridoo.... how I got there from guitar I have no idea...

Chamber music is a form of classical music that is composed for a small group of instruments—traditionally a group that could fit in a palace chamber or a large room.

Poor puppy - is it cut bad? If you haven't seen a cut, count her toenails. I've had two dogs break off toenails, and those bleed like crazy, but once they stop bleeding are not much trouble.

I think she got the nail twisted or something, it's there, but I couldn't tell. Will check today when the bandage comes off.
not sure what to do with her.
DD is too far away to take her to the ER

If it's just the nail, keep it clean and it should heal fine. If the nail falls off, you'll probably see her cuticle, which looks like a tiny pink toe. It will be sensitive, but will toughen and grow new nail in a couple of weeks.

Yeah ....I got a fever...and the only prescription. ..is more cow bell.

Actually since I do not play it, but I wish I did..... I want to play Cello in the Chamber group

I can play a very bad saxophone or even worse bassoon - we used to swap instruments in band class when we had a substitute.

Were you like Eddie Izzard? Did you play the notes that were left over?

I played notes that had never previously existed.

There is ALWAYS a need for more cowbells.

Cloudy, cold rainy day here. Off a few weeks for physical therapy, off to PT in a bit....then it's time to eat, rest and party until the cows come home. [shoo, cow, scat!]
