Generalismo

A friend took some of us to a bluegrass jam the other night, we got home at 4 in the morning! It was great fun, and we sang lots, played lots, and a few of us did some contra dancing

On the way

Different angle of on the way

The “attic” where they danced

One of the jam rooms - there were many!

Waiting around for the dance to start

Retrieving my boots at the end of the last dance I did.
I got blisters!

I don’t know if I’ve posted this video before, but I figured I’d do it again because I like it so much!

I practiced a little accordion today. Actually, I played on a big one. It’s taking a bit to get used to the chromatic layout for the right hand. It’s fun though, and it’s definitely a challenge!

Yesterday we went to the dairy and pulled cucumber weeds in their cornfield. WOW. It was about half a mile long and there was no way we were going to be able to walk the length of every row in one afternoon, so we tried to scout out from the top of the bus where the biggest patches of cucumber weed were and walked out to pull them up. I did walk the entire length of the field without coming out of the row I was in, and boy was it long. And the corn leaves are so rough! I’m really glad I borrowed on of Dad’s hats and had long sleeves on. Hopefully we got most of the weeds out, but I know there are still some hiding in there.

Then I went and washed down the floor in the milking parlour, and we went home. And then I slept well

Here’s a tune I recorded to make use of my “new” guitar setup - I used nylon strings on one of my regular guitars. I do have a classical guitar to use (my mom’s) but the intonation is quite bad up the neck so I don’t play it very often.

It Is Well

I haven’t practiced for it, so it’s rough. I’m planning to get my sister and I together sometime to record duets with guitar. I just need to work on guitar arrangements as far as chords go.
