Gone With the Mandolin

[days_unfolding]

I have a mandolin that I've never learned to play. I'm planning to bring it to Michigan with me, and I bought some books and DVDs about playing it. (I suppose that it would have been smarter to have had the books sent to Michigan, but I didn't think of it. I suppose that I could mail them there.) If I can find my recorders, I'll bring them too. (I guess that this is my folk music period.) Unfortunately I didn't keep up with my guitar playing (and I'm kicking myself for not doing so), so I'll need some assistance in learning how to play again. Maybe I could take a group class whenever I get to whereever I'm going for my next job. Anyway, that will provide some cheap entertainment.

Oh, and I'm planning to work on foreign languages while I'm in Michigan too.

Well, I found most of my recorders. I found a wooden and two plastic soprano recorders and a plastic alto recorder. Only the wooden alto recorder is missing.

I'm probably going to give away one of the plastic ones because why do I need two of them? Having one plastic one would be good for traveling though.

It would be fun to learn how to play some early music.

Ye gods, soprano recorders make a god-awful high-pitched noise. Alto recorders are better.

Maybe I should rethink taking them with me lest I be thrown out on the street -;)
