Guitar music and bloggers

 Appreciation to my fellow bloggers.  Especially those who commented when I said I was feeling low. Next day was pretty topsy turvy...learned that the man I volunteered to help with a newsletter and blog wanted me to do the whole enchilada. 

Tried to find the candidates our party had on the primary who had the same interests as yours truly. Couldn't find the paper that had posted candidates positions at the library, where early voting was taking place. But a friend on Facebook sent me her choices, so tomorrow that can happen.

 I tried adding a new gmail account and google is going crazy thinking I've never used their services before! Hello, even blogger is a google product.

Went to studio and did a little fabricating of a base upon which a dragon will stand, which I'll start constructing on Thurs. 

My car insurance rates have sky rocketed, so I plan on calling some other companies tomorrow (which I've put off for 2 weeks already) 

I stumble around but have stayed upright so far. My hands were so dry from working in clay, I came home and lathered hand cream on them, then silly me tried to reply to comments with just 2 fingers typing. Pretty lame.

You bloggers have kept me in some kind of touch with the world beyond my four walls many times. Big thank you for sharing whatever interests you, and often teaching me a thing or three. I especially enjoy photos of places, critters, people and things I'd never see otherwise!

So today I want to acknowledge John at "By Stargoose and Hanglands," and share the musician he posted on Sunday...I went to hear many other YouTube videos by John James. And here's a fun one, not the one Mr. Stargoose gave. You'll have to check his site to hear the one he shared.


John James plays various tunes, and I think his guitar is differently tuned than the one I tried to learn on. His base string is at the top, rather than the bottom. Just my impression and I never got to being able to press the right strings to make a chord! Or are all electric guitars strung that way?

Here's another one I enjoyed. I kind of like the little introductions he makes, but I definitely like his skills.
