Daily Recording Regimen

You know, the discipline of having to record a fiddle or mandolin tune does wonders for your technique and phrasing.  If you have to hear yourself via an external medium, you catch things that you would otherwise miss just noodling around on the fretboard / fingerboard.  Whatever it takes to improve, you know…

 

Another hot day in Mosul.  The Iraqis will have sovereignty soon.  Does that mean they’ll ditch the AK-47s and dynamite for guitars and fiddles?  One can only hope.

 

The Arabic word for today is “feel” – which means “elephant.”  As the sage said, how do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.  We’ll get the job done, not miraculously, but incrementally.

 

Cheers,
