Two scoops of awesome, coming right up.

Slept through the night again last night. That's two nights in a row! I feel GOOD.

Practice was fantastic. Last night was the first night since mid-February that I've been able to hear out of both ears ~and~ been healthy. Being in good voice after not being in good voice for half a damn MONTH is just so much fun. We're also working on this new ( Read more... )

I was having a total blast--singing genuinely makes me feel good, so it was fantastic to get a fix ;)

Yeah, I was oversinging a little. I was a bit sore by the end. Worth it, though--I really needed to cut loose ;)

Yay to good sleep and feeling better!

Bagpipes rock. I want to get a practice chanter to learn on, for my daughter. From what I've been told they're a lot like playing a clarinet in feel for the wind and fingering. Not playing anything but "weird percussion instruments" myself, I wouldn't know.

I briefly took lessons while I was in the military--the fingering reminded me of pennywhistle as well. Wish I'd stuck with it--I was too busy being young and irresponsible at the time....

Ah! You just saved me a whole bunch of internet wandering! Thank you!

Just realized that is an electric bagpipe... That's too cool. Bagpipes for the asthmatic! I want one. I know I don't want to pay for one, but that is just too cool.

irenejericho March 5 2009, 14:50:18 UTC

Dude. I didn't even know there was such a thing as electronic bagpipe. That's AWESOME.

matrinka69 March 5 2009, 15:07:16 UTC

I knew, because I am a serious Celt-o-phile, but I'd never seen one before. Bagpipes that do the blowing for you would be right up my alley. I've always wanted to learn to play a wind instrument but I can't keep the wind up long enough. I can sing, but only one or two songs and then I'm winded and wheezing.

It stinks. I lost dance to pain issues combined with the asthma, the singing to the asthma and I have no ability to play stringed instruments whatsoever. Nobody wants to hear the "weird percussion" stuff anymore (including me, if I'm fully honest). I miss the limelight.

Oh, that bites! Have you ever considered taking up something with strings, like a celtic lap harp?
