Slogan: Love the Music

Hello Friends,
I know, I have not been vigilent in my endeavour to maintain my daily entries. Now that I have gotten away from it, it is hard to remember to get back to it again. I have been doing daily practice and enjoying the holiday music I am trying to prepare for anyone that may listen to it during the season. I am picking out names and not exactly matching music to them, but just to play for them so I can think about other people when I work on the music. Takes my mind off myself for a change, good change. None of the music is complicated or difficult in any manner as I want to be able to actually play them for people.

I still work on Swan Lake, Danny Boy, and Star of County Down. Still wanting to get the book from Caroline so must write her again, requesting it. Oh, and Wisteria, so lovely to do in all the octives. The Christmas music I'm working on is Silent Night, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Good King W. (you don't really think I'm going to try to spell it do you? LOL), Huron Carol, that's a good one as it doesn't work both hands together, they follow each other and repeat a lot of patterns. Of course, the joy is that you just learn the first verse and then repeat it in different octives three times and you have the carol, basically. This is very old music and doesn't have a lot of complicated stuff in it. There is no real challenge, only the joy and charm of playing delightful melodies that everyone recognizes. Do I have Away in the Manger? That would be good for children, Krista wants me to phone her a song. Anyone but Sandra, won't play for her again.

This is getting long, it must be to make up for lost time and just in case I get lost in time again.

Thanks for dropping in,

Meg
