Yeah now after Iāve read some articles on this plastic landscape netting, Iām really surprised itās not been banned. It never rots, Iāve had 30 year old netting get wrapped around my weed eater spool. Though I did see a company that makes it out of something biodegradable, looks like old hay twine.This stuff will probably even find it's way into the ocean and take out a few sea turtles before it's over. Living in a beach town I can't begin to describe all the crap washed up on the shore every day. Other than plastic bottles, the worst things seem to be plastic netting, sippy-cup straws, and plastic tampon applicators. At least broken beer bottles eventually tumble into something decorative.
If humans sleep for 1/3 of thier lives (supposedly), what percentage do cats sleep? I see our 8yr old cat asleep in different places in the house throughout the day, but Iāve never seen her walk to get to those places. Our other cat lives in the garage but goes out after breakfast. I found he sleeps in the old corn crib during the day before coming back in for supper and bedtime. Iām lucky to get 6 hours a day. Just how do they do it? I really need to know this Informationā¦.
And yesterday I hung up after the recording told me I was number 6 in line - but not for any ticket purchases.Trying to get tickets for Billy Strings at The Met in Philly in November. A mere 1,300 people in queue ahead of me.
<<sigh>>

I'm burning all my guitars.ā
So if you really didnāt burn them then, Iām guessing youāre just a glutton for punishment
When I want to see some guitar playing, I just go over to the local feed store and watch the guys playing inside on stools. Now that does always seem to still give me some hope, but barely.
There are indeed varying disciplines of playing an instrument. The one that brings me the most joy is indeed playing for myself, if anything just for the freedom of exploration. On the other hand, the discipline of learning a piece....and beating your self silly w/ repetition until you can play it purely on muscle memory and you can play it start to finish w/ your eyes closed. (Which can be laborious, if not outright painful) It takes woodshedding to get there.....but then you will have no problem playing w/ confidence in front of company. People of all skill levels CAN achieve this. Experts in minutes, novices in a few hours a day for days.... but it's doable for all. And let me tell you...putting a smile on someone else's face by your playing is...priceless! The ultimate high.I need to learn to relax when I play, if there's anyone watching. I play WAY better when it's just me, one of the dogs, and a YouTube backing track. Still, I enjoy doing that, like Tom said, it does make me happy.
Ok. So after supper I subtly disappeared into āThe Roomā, that secret room that only my trusted butler Alfred knows about, and stood amongst all my guitars. I thought hard about which ones to sell to pay for the resophonic violin. Oh maybe after three or four minutes, I turned the light off, exited the room and retired back to my recliner. I can retrieve enough coins under my furniture cushions to buy the harmonica insteadā¦.Iām wanting to try learning a new instrument, something different and obscure. Thought about harmonica. But then I saw this for sale. $5k but hey itās a short life. 1910 resophonic violin. I think I can learn to play it, but will need to move out Iām pretty sure. Oh it comes with the nice OHSC.
