And my name is Grace. Sue and Carolyn were also in the group.

I’m not really great at knowing my way around for searching out emails and contacting people in here so could use some help. Thanks.

We played and laughed, played and chatted, played and laughed some more. I hope a lot more of you have opportunities to get together. What a blessing!

I’ve tried just listening but haven’t been able to combine playing. I feel like it’s my lack of tab agility. I am maybe too visually stuck on sheet music for my timing and can’t help but wonder if I would get this if I coul…[Read more]

I’m really impressed and a bit envious of your pinkie. Mine crooks the wrong way so I have to shift to get the note I want and then when I resume my others I’m out of position. I’m working on that — you make it look so easy.

I tried to reply to this a few days ago but for some reason it didn’t post. I don’t learn pieces by heart before going to another. Lots of them I use for exercises in whatever different tempo, fingering challenge or whatever they might offer. Some of the pieces I really want to perfect become a challenge and so I’ll move…[Read more]

There are some pieces that I seem to move along better on with a bit of a swing to the tempo. I probably should put more thought to my bowing but I just sort of go with what feels comfortable. I’ve slowed some videos way down and scrutinized the bowing and they slur a lot. Lots of times when I try to b…[Read more]

I know numerous people who have died with it. I’m 85 and have weathered a lot but have no desire to make that one of the list. So I tolerate the imaginary ankle bracelet with a smile.

They have me on lockdown so I won’t get Covid. It’s my crazy term for their protectiveness.

My kids have a Covid ankle bracelet on me. A bit of preplanning would probably be best.
