Not anymore. I'm glad I did, but I lost my passion for it and eventually came to begrudge the time spent practicing. There's still a lasting benefit: I get a lot out of simply listening.
Thanks, James, and I relate to your closing line. I can't even list how many concerts I attended in the past.
More personally, I dabbled with keyboards, guitar, and bass when I was much younger. For a short while, I sang and wrote lyrics for a short-lived rock band. Recording a four-track demo was especially fun. After that, I managed a metal-ish band and these days, I get to enjoy the musical process vicariously through my close friend, Alicen Grey.
they took out a forest not far from where I live. I am not holding my breath - but it might be some or other walmart! Unfortunately they always demolish first and then sell. Years ago the same happened 3 miles away, the forest is now wasteland and every year they remove everything that grows. For what, I don't know. It is not even up for sale I think! Good news - 2 European countries block WHO, several others waking up to the disaster of letting everyone in uncontrolled. Bad news - I just read who finances the 3 main candidates for presidency; I won't vote for either
Yes, Wyoming. It was 9 degrees this morning, high of 28. Winter has arrived! We did discuss WY once because you couldn’t hardly believe we have pelicans that migrate through here along the Green River. ❤️
Mickey, are you familiar with the supposed apparitions of Our Lady at Zeitoun? I meant to ask before when you wrote about Armenia. Today's first meme reminded me
I want that C sharp cat for my future band. You don't see jazz chops (or chomps...) like that every day.
😹 🎼 🎹
P.S. Do you play an instrument, James?

Excellent batch today! And it has gotten seasonably chilly here in SW WY, had snow Thanksgiving Day. Stay warm! ❤️
Thank you, Mary! ❤️ Is that WY as in Wyoming? If so, how did I not know that about you? And yes, "chilly" means different things in NY and WY, huh?

Ah yes, how could I forget that convo! It's still so awesome to visualize pelicans in migration.
Stay warm, my friend. ❤️

Hi Jaye and no, I had to look that one up just now. Thanks for the info!
The church meme hit hard. As a Catholic, I’m exhilarated when I pray in older churches, depressed when I enter the bland 1970s ones.
I feel that in a big way.
