Good on you Dee, some days are little steps, others are milestones.

But not hungover, and if your previous career goes back that far, not poisoned by second hand smoke.

Hi Dee, Bass eh? I play piano and violin but was so intrigued by the below song I went out and rented a bass to own just to learn it.

http://youtu.be/R-WqWaZxXSo

I spent two hours in the music room with a CD playing this over and over again until I thought I had it all the way through. There were a few parts I had some difficulty with. Once I thought I was ready to show my husband I called him down and made the disclaimer that I didn't have it at 100%. So I started the CD and played it through for him. He's been a drummer for 30+ years and there's something about drummers and their understanding of bass. He took the bass away after I was done, started the CD, and played the song perfectly from beginning to end. I then walked up to him and smacked him then laughed, The little bugger.

I tried playing for a while but I had a hindrance that also kept me from picking up the violin again, my nails. Just doesn't work out.

Music fills the soul!
