gotta go.

I spent the afternoon digging out from the latest snow storm.
>:(
Practicing a few scales on the saxomophone right now. Well, I'm
on a break at the moment. :)
This evening I shall hopefully finish putting my studio back
together. :P

I played Friday night at my 1st & 3rd Friday ALF gig. I tried
out "Stardust" and "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" on them. They still need
a lot of work, but I like both of them.
Today I took 2 separate walks for a total (yes I time them) of 1
hr 55 mins. I was listening to Prarie Home Companion. Chris
Thile is the host these days. He's a brilliant musician with a
brilliant band. He played and sang (with the band) some song
he's going to play at the Oscars on Sunday night. On PHC they
play a varied selection of styles and genres. Near the end they
did a percussive song with about 5 people hand clapping, the
drummer played a complimentary part and there was some vocal
interplay. Amazing music. First rate players. Great
arrangements.

Good to see you too, AJ. :)
Thanks for the kind words.
Unfortunately, I haven't been playing the uke lately. I seem to
have picked up a case of tendonitis in my left forearm, and
playing the uke really aggravates it. :(
I have decided to try and concentrate on improving my limited
piano skills instead. So far, the piano doesn't seem to irritate
the forearm (knock on wood). I've been getting together with an
old band mate once a week, where we play and sing Everly
Brothers and Beatles songs badly. I play the piano and my buddy
plays an acoustic. We drink beer, smoke a little magic flower
and generally spend a pleasant 3 or 4 hours.
Water in the basement! I shudder to think. :o
All of my gear is in the basement. :(

Sorry about the tendonitis. It's arthritis that plagues me. I
can play guitar, benignly, for about 40-50 minutes before it
shuts down the show. if I play more aggressively, or try a lot
of soloing(single note runs), it close the show after about 20
minutes.
Fortunately for my Niece, the basement that flooded is in her
converted carriage house, and she keeps nothing in the basement
of that one due to it's proximity to a creek near her property.

classic Friday: homemade pizza + movie, we watched Tschick
usual Saturday : went to Brussels, did some urban exploring,
looking for art deco and art nouveau architecture
Sunday : have a new toy, SY-300 guitar synth, so spent the day
mostly making strange noises

2017 saw me visited by tendonitis and his third cousin,
tinnitus.
Both kind of suck. :(
I feel your pain (albeit slightly differently), AJ.
Keep on keepin' on, my friend. It's all we can do. :)

It is indeed all we can do......Plenty of time to do nothing
after we perish.
