Yes, I’m on the green side, but with a black thumb, literally. I took my new guitar in to the shop to get the battery on the amplifier changed and buy a music stand, and in the interim met a friend for lunch – didn’t want to leave the guitar in the hot car (I’m in Florida!), so I decided to take it in the restaurant with me. I’m not used to handling the guitar case and I slammed my thumb between the guitar case and my car door handle. My thumb swole up twice the size, actuallly looked deformed, and turned blue. I sat in the after hours emergency place for 2 hours and had it x-rayed, the good news is, it was not broken, just jammed/sprung/or whatever it is, so yes, I have a black thumb… 🙁
I was invited to perform at a local church the first part of July and have come to appreciate my guitar playing hand a little more after this incident. I instrumate (is that a word?) 99% of my music on keyboard, but have recentlly been practicing guitar so I can play out at retirement homes in the near future.
I had the pleasure of having Suzie Elkins (reminds me of Ann Murray) record several of my songs and I’ll be creating videos for those very soon. The videos are very time consuming – a 3-4 minute video can take 20 hours, so I’m hoping to make time soon.
I’m very excited – I have a music composer coming over today to give me lessons on creating sheet music.
Because so many have requested it, first up is the wedding song, “You Are My Everything”.
I purchased the software to create the sheet music, just need some instruction and when it comes to technology, I need all of the help I can get!
I received a very touching email today – click over to the COMMENTARY link and read it – I was given permission to share it with you – you’ll be blessed.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
