Well, I’ve taken the plunge. I’ve signed up at Lee College for 12 weeks of lessons in playing the bass guitar. I even had a friend offer me the indefinite loan of his spare instrument until I’m ready to buy my own (thanks, Steve.) Now it’s just a matter of waiting until an instructor calls me to schedule the actual lessons.
So if you hear strange rumblings coming from our house, it’s probably not an attack by a herd of moose. It will just be me practicing, either on the bass or the bagpipes 
This video is very funny, but also very sad at the same time, that people can still think this way.
Well, I’m back from staffing another Cursillo weekend. As usual, I’m completely exhausted, but it was a wonderful time. You can get some sense of that from the picture at the link on the right. I leave it to you to figure out which one is me.
On a somewhat related note: I felt somewhat inadequate as a music leader. I could contribute vocally, but very little instrumentaly. Oh, I played my tinwhistles on a few songs, but even that wasn’t very good. So I’m giving serious consideration to taking guitar and/or bass lessons. Does anybody have any recommendations for me? Lee College is certainly one possibility that I’ll be persuing (any recommendations, Anne?) But I’m also looking for people’s comments on other options for me to pursue.
