At the benefit

Another nice set today.

Disenchanted
Catnyp
Stream Of Consciousness
Calvins Girl
Critters
Widows Garden

Six songs, 5 tunings. I may not have planned that as well as I could have. This was the second time that we did Calvin's Girl and Critters without the Cuatro (which has been fussy lately) and it worked just fine.

The tunings were
1 - Guitar in standard tuning
2 - Bouzouki in D tuning
3 - Bouzouki in E tuning
4 & 5 - Guitar with the B string tuned to C and capo 7
6 - DADGAD

Yeah, and it went really smoothly. Although I thought Calvin's Girl sounded a little off, Lizzie did not, and she is a better judge of such things.

I'm kinda burned out now ... OVFF this weekend. Then Windycon in a couple of weeks, then home till the first weekend in January. We get a lot of rest then.

Hi

I've been very quiet lately. Being happy will do that to you I suppose.

Lizzie and I are doing wonderfully. There is much laughter and music in our house.

On that, I have a new toy. I bought a bouzouki! Most of the new songs have been written on it, most I could play on guitar, but they wouldn't sound the same. Add the Cuatro and it will be Eric's Odd Instruments onstage at Duckon.

So, how is life with you? Does anyone read this anymore?
