Food For Thought

I need to learn to rock out on the guitar. It occurred to me last night that after performing with Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which was an intense show full of songs for which the piano is the foundation and occasionally the lead instrument, that I don't see how I could possibly top that experience without making drastic career changes. I think I may also be feeling some burn-out after doing such demanding show. However, the guitar is looking more and more tempting. It could be just the thing to rejuvenate me and allow me to approach music with a fresh perspective. Now, where do I begin?

briskpepper, I'm not abandoning any plans. In fact, I might be able to learn a thing or two from you guys.

In other news, just about all the plumbing related to my kitchen sink has been upgraded. The drains are new and clean and unclogged. I see a dishwasher in my future, a dishwasher that is not ME! Once I get one installed, no doubt there will be many burnt offerings given up to the holy dishwasher.

Sounds like your run with the play was a hugh success and you scored big on the keyboards. I knew you would. You are great and truly talented. Wish we could have seen it. I would have enjoyed watching your performance.

I am venturing into strings. I purchased a "strumstick." (No laughing please.) Figure at my age, just learning to strum will be a feat in itself. Go to strumstick.com and you will see what I am up against.

Glad the plumbing is fixed. Got to be a relief.

You would have enjoyed watching me in a purple skirt and Jocelyn's tights too. ;)

Have fun with the strumstick. I hadn't seen one of those before. Looks like good place to start for stringed instruments.
