Sybilrose - Far Above Rubies

What I've been working on...

I came away from the various jam sessions at the Peaceful Bend Festival with a pretty good punch list as far as my playing goes. A good piece of it is repretorie... I just don't know the songs well enough to play the melodies. And there are a number of tec-knuckle issues as well. I have fly-away fingers, especially where my ring and little fingers are concerned. I tend to lift them too far from the fingerboard, and they also tend to move together, so, besides learning new songs, I have been doing a number of drills, mostly scales, and concentrating on keeping my fingers as quiet as possible - no excess flailing.

My fiddle song list...
- Old Joe Clark
- Forked Deer
- St. Anne's Reel
- Turkey in the Straw
- Arkansas Traveler
- Blackberry Blossum

...has grown to include...
- Red Haired Boy
- Angeline the Baker
- Bill Cheatum

...and I am working on adding:
- Magic Foot
- Bonepart's Retreat
- Eighth of January
- Soldier's Joy

Additionally, I try to run through as many of my singing songs as I can in a session.

It looks somewhat organized, but no where near what I'd like. Many times I find myself just picking somewhat aimlessly through a chord progression and thinking about Annie...

Good Morning All

Blooze, Arty is just one of the cutest things I've seen in a long time.....and I'm not normally a dog person (ok hardly EVER a dog person)

Like the looks of the playlist. Some of my favorites on there. Red Haired Boy is just great. I've heard great versions of it.

Soldier's Joy-Can't go wrong with that.

St. Anne's Reel- Now you hit a good one with me. I've heard that one so much I could almost do the lyrics in my sleep.

If you're taking requests or ideas then may I suggest something like Jamie Allen? I've heard some great versions from some great Hammer Dulcimer players and other musicians.........and if the day comes you ever learn Planxty Irwin I will worship the ground you walk on!!:cool:
 
Good Morning My Friend...

Tried to post something cool for your Birthday but now it looks like I have to go to plan B as Plan A didn't work...

dam hate when that happens..

I'll be back in a few

Ok so this is Plan A...I figured it out!

Thank you for the birthday wishes, cakes, bikinis and such! :D

I hope everyone is doin' good. Between the floods and guitar practice, I find I have been sort of busy.

Here's another Arty shot that is pretty cute. The pup actually sleeps like that!

I have no idea what was wrong with the picture - both of them look alike to me. But, I'm glad Mav got it fixed for you! :D

It is interesting to see the affect that Arty has had on Percy - probably some sort of deep socialogical implications there - but dealing with the puppy has most definitely improved Percy's general offerall health.

The most immediate thought then comes, "...ought to go out and get me a woman and have another kid..."

Then almost as immediate, "Nahhh, bad idea." followed by an involuntary shudder...

ROTFLMAO....sometimes when I'm holding a little baby to my chest rocking them,feeling there warmth,inhaling there baby scent,humming a little tune to comfort them....I think to myself "Dam I really miss this,I coud do this again"

and then...

sanity sneaks back in...

yeah I could do it again for a few hours,an afternoon and overnight perhaps in an emergency

but my sons are almost 18 and 28..been there DONE that...:D
 
No idea what Sis meant about Arty's picture either. He was whole in the original, he is whole in Mav's version, the contrast a little enhanced.
Maybe the attachment did not open entirely for you, Sis? Sometimes, when Lit is very slow, attachments fail to open completely.

:rose: :kiss:

Must just be a glitch...when I click the attachment he still appears cut in half..:confused:
Maybe Ms. Pea did it cause everytime I would click on the picture I would say
"Ahhhhhh he's just SO cute"

I have no idea what is going on with the pictures of Arty, but the two links you put in your post look just like we have seen the pictures all along. In Blooze's picture, Arty is cut in half right through his little dickie. The bottom of the picture just never shows up.:confused::rolleyes:

Oh, well. Lit has been working weird for a few days. I hope they are getting the bugs out.:D

Hi everybody!:)
 
Hi Mav!! :kiss:

I don't know, maybe you ought to clean up the temporary files? If something went wrong when you originally viewed it, then you'll keep seeing the same faulty image.
I assure you that Arty is whole in Blooze's pic :)

I guess great perverted minds think alike. I tried that before reading your post and we kept seeing the faulty image when the computer picked up the original picture in the TEMPORARY files.:D It is fixed now.

Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday, my sexy friend.:kiss:


:heart:

Doing fine here, counting the days for our first of three summer trips.
Friday is so close!! :nana: :D

OK, about the picture.... how on earth did you manage to complete it if the lower part of it was missing when Sis first viewed it? :confused:

:heart:

He has very good artistic skills and a vivid imagination when it comes to anatomy. :rolleyes:
 
Good morning folks! Sorry to have missed the picture discussion - wierd sleep habits again...

CJ's caption to the picture on her blog was, "Don't worry Percy, he's not dead." The discussion brought that to light...

Good Morning Chief.

Seems pretty quiet this morning. We may just be the only two here.
 
lol - slow lunch crowd, huh?

My favorite NASCAR race of the year is out near you today at Sonoma. Have you ever been up there?

No, can't say that I have. I don't travel around much really.

...and as for the raceway, I'm not a NASCAR fan......just the thought of being surrounded by all those rednecks gives me the creeps. I won't even set foot in Walmart for fear of being swept up in a hillbilly stampede.
