Thank you, Nonnie *hugs* I’m just a bit irritated atm. I keep getting pushy ‘suggestions’ in my inbox about what I “should” write, and I’m over it. It’s been happening for months. MONTHS. Totally sucks the wind out of my sails.

I’m glad you like it! Awwwwww, and I love you back – have a FAB night, have a drink for me! *raises glass* Cheers!

ow.

Today I have done lots of recording with Shiny New Microphone, both fiddle and voice.

Upside: I am now a lovely SSSAA choir (hey there five-part harmony)! On the downside(s): OW. SO. OUT. OF PRACTICE. Also, wow Dets, your intonation shifting to and from 4th pos SUCKS SO MUCH. SO SO MUCH.

Ow. Hands no worky. Fingertips burning and squishy. Where did my calluses go? 

they have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow…
