and you never get old.

i started taking voice lessons a couple months ago. i did 12 yrs of catholic school, and boy howdy did the nuns teach us lil miscreants to sing.
but i had neuro issues that made my voice flat. all these years.

that got cleared up, and my voice is strong and clear. a flat alto no more.
then i bought myself a piano for my bday. same teacher, who i adore, is teaching me that.
i already had a couple hand drums. my time is solid.
then came the tin whistle.
then the ukulele.

so, for xmas, i bought the rest of the band.
second hand stuff off ebay. 5 pc blood red pearl drum kit. groovy low volume cymbals, but a vintage 20" crash.
clarinet, flute, and the 1 spendy thing, a 70's gibson 5 string banjo.
eta- forgot about the fiddle. it said it was a violin, but this old irish girl plans to play fiddle

imma die young at 100. shot by a jealous gf, if everything goes according to plan.

1. I've always wanted to sing well enough to

have fun at karaoke. I took lessons years ago and was getting there but my teacher moved. Now, years later, I finally had another teacher lined up and that got covided. But I’m not giving up.

2. dont. my lessons are virtual.

which is a good thing, as my teach is married to a dear friend...

4. my plan is

to hang out in irish pubs and sing for pints and proposals.

Riverwalk in San Antonio.

7. Very cool

Let's keep on learning

[mopinko]

8. i mean. i may never learn to play all that shit, but

mebbe when the plague is over, i can get some friends to come jam w me.

[malaise]

9. You could learn a few of them

and that would be fun

[mopinko]

11. looking forward to the drums the most.

12. You will be The Music Man!

Have fun!

[mopinko]

13. well, i will but

i will be the music woman.

i rly dont get why most musicians dont learn all the instruments.
i know quite a few of them, but only one that plays it all. a true 1 man band, he is.
i mean, once you can read...

[Bayard]

17. Oops--sorry!

[mopinko]

18. no worries. used to it.

[cayugafalls]

14. You're never to young to learn something new.

I'm counting backwards as I'll probably be in diapers when I go...

15. This warms my Music Teacher heart!

Enjoy yourself!

sessions always go long cuz we (me) tell so many stories.
