Summertime

The livin' is easy, and Edinburgh is starting to buzz.

Anyhow, visited dad this morning, he was on his irritating form today, but then so are most people right now as far as I'm concerned. Grumpy old me. So I treated myself to the usual coffee and muffin indulgence at Blackwell's, then nipped across to Scayles music shop and bought a set of black nylon flatwound strings for the bass guitar, the idea being that they make the guitar sound more like a 'proper' acoustic upright double bass. I can report that they probably do. A bit.

Those were a present to myself by the way for learning to play 'Summertime' from the sheet music. A first, ever. Well done me :0)
