Sorry for my silence yesterday. I was going to blog about
how Jilly Moose, Travalon, and I went to Liliana’s for their special soul food
menu, but once again they were out of it. Or at least the main course, fried
chicken – the people sitting next to us got the last two! We did get the
appetizer of macaroni and cheese with bacon, and the dessert of banana pudding,
and when I asked if there were any of the side of greens left, the waitress
brought me some. We had to order entrees off the regular menu, and we each got
something different: Travalon got catfish, Jilly Moose got salmon, and I got
something called Diablo Chicken, which was quite spicy. I could only eat half
of it, so I had the rest for lunch yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon I suddenly became very sleepy, and so
during band practice I made all sorts of weird mistakes because I couldn’t
remember where to put my fingers. But was this a function of being sleepy or of
being confused after playing so many instruments? I only brought my acoustic
mandolin to band practice this time, but in the evening as we sat on our porch,
I practiced Bubba Sue the mountain dulcimer, the bouzouki, the balalaika, the good
violin, and the rebec. That is almost all my instruments, except for the
electric mandolin, the cheap violin, the African thumb piano, and the random
small instruments like recorders and ocarinas that I have not seen since moving
into our present place anyway. And I plan to give the cheap violin to Kathbert
as soon as I can get it together (I poached its E string for the good violin,
for example), so that will be one less instrument to neglect. Oh, and of course the ukulele, but I will play that tonight and possibly tomorrow night. Stay tuned... (pun intended)
