Full house

i don't think i have practiced in front of so many people before. it was a little weird. but i tried to focus on what i was playing more than who was in the house. i think i worked on Pink Panther more than any other piece today. there's a super high note, but i got it. also weird.

my smallest fan, named aslan, was said to have applauded my playing at various times. cute. i think it's safe to say if i need to play in front of kids they will love me. haha

another hour! i'm in the 190 hour range.. 200 feels soooo close!!!

By the book

that's right. i stuck to the book this practice. i mean, sure, i played a few other pieces for fun. and to finish off ten more minutes (and reach an hour for practice), i just fiddled around with a few notes from the key of G.

hmm.. i suppose fiddle is a strange verb to use right now.

any way, a fun practice. for an hour, as previously mentioned.

Even if it rains

really it was just lloviznando, but who's counting?

so i only practiced 50 minutes today due to the random cold and spitting rain. nevertheless, Take 5 continues to improve, and i have a couple songs of old sounding solid. i like it. i like it a lot.

i am kind of daydreaming about getting to practice with my cousin when i am in the states. that might be fun. but who knows? a duet?

in other news, the sound was a little off, but i wasn't willing to bring out the computer so i could tune the 'ophone because of weather conditions. such is life.

50 minutes!
188.5 + 50min = ???

Por fin

you have no idea how good it feels to play again. at first i was afraid, i was petrified.. oops. couldn't help that..

no but seriously, i had feared not being able to have a good sound when i started practice. nope. sounded great!!

went through almost everything i got, and of course focused at the end on Take 5. it's sounding a lot better--i just have to memorize one key part and i think i got the main lick. exciting!

ok. one hour more. here's to many more for this camp-less week. hooray!!!

Clocking in

i remember practicing on tuesday last, and it was an hour.

i remember that there was a lot of Take 5. i don't remember the rest, but it counts it counts!!!
