I enjoy doing things differently and creatively exploring music, *and* it is also affirming to connect with others about using and teaching similar concepts. :-) Thanks for commenting, David.

Sometimes when the weather is just right one - or a bunch - of them will sit in the front yard and play guitar and sing. I love it! Sometimes I play my guitar on our front porch in the evening. There's nothing more relaxing. The house across the street from ours is rented by a group of students from Reed College.

Ask J to take some pictures of you playing in the sunlit Victorian room - it sounds beautiful. A beautiful place to practice certainly has a positive impact on our playing. And, I bet you are providing some lovely entertainment for your hosts. win-win! Oh how wonderful, Bill! Ask J to take some pictures of you playing in the sunlit Victorian room – it sounds beautiful.

It was a different experience playing in an old Victorian master bedroom, sunlight coming through the skylight onto my music. Very nice! Plus, we get the bigger room this way so I have a place to practice. :-) Following through with one of your earlier suggestions about taking our instrument on vacation, J and I are in Ashland this week and I brought it!
