I got a new, better mandolin!!! The one I got for my birthday was fun, but it was made of plastic and the frets were not in the right places so no matter how meticulously it was tuned, once I started playing actual fingerings it was incessantly out of tune. The new one was more expensive, and I am broke now (haha), but it was worth the purchase. It's made of wood, lovely, and has a beautiful, beautiful sound..... I've been keepin' cozy amidst autumn chill in warm clothes and slippers while getting acquainted.

I love it!!!

Along a similar tune (...pun very much intended....), sometimes I have little bits of potential songs rattling about in my head.

Rarely do I compose a complete song. There are two fiddle waltzes I have written in the 10/11ish years I have played violin, but that's it! (Wow, 10/11 years... I didn't even realize how long it's been since I started playing!)

A couple of weeks ago I came up with this little excerpt.... but I don't know where to go with it. I thought I'd record a video and post it here. I'm hoping the rest of it will come to me soon! I've been playing my instruments a little more lately and listening to music quite a bit, so perhaps inspiration is tip-toeing my way...

 

Not a perfect recording, but it suffices.

Hope you like what I have thus far!
