Fun with music again
I'm reaching the point where my fingers now go off on their own while I play the concertina, and trying to think about where they should be slows them down. Except where they falter and tangle, and go 'hey, brain? Help us out!' and then the thinking comes in again.
Some tunes are just a delight. I've been playing Shepherd's Hut and Kemp's Jig round and round, as both have lovely shapes on the English, and am trying chords now too for other songs. It'll be some long while before I'll play in a performance, but I begin to believe that time will come eventually.
The cats have got used to the noise, thankfully.

And I've imported a desk to my studio, which helps - I'm doing more laptop/Tascam/bits of paper stuff than I'd anticipated, and this helps. As does a very fine rehearsal yesterday, and my Litmus Paper has approved two new pieces.
All good stuff! And gigs to look forward to as well. How's your weekend?
