Traveling and camping and enjoying nature and birdwatching and walking and photography ... phew. It sounds a lot but of course I get much less time to enjoy them than I would like. Music is more of an everyday pleasure. I play bass (acoustic bass guitar) not very good but not too bad in a regular bluegrass jam. I've long though about getting a melody instrument, something I can play tunes on by myself, and last week my octave mandolin arrived. I can play a handful of chords .. eventually and last night could rough out the first part of Old Joe Clark. Royal Command Performance here I come.
