Good News!

My life these days is one hugely busy blur! I'm spending time putting the finishing touches on A Perfect Ganesh which opens tomorrow night. My day job has decided that this would be a good week to kick my butt with thirty-four absolute-top-priority-number-one-have-to-get-done-right-now things every day. Dentist and physical therapy appointments keep popping up. And so on and so forth.

But in spite of all of this nonsense, I've been able to find a few spare minutes to sit down and play some tunes. And the really good news is that I got the fiddle down off the wall after not being able to play for a good long while due to a persistent shoulder injury. Hot dog! I found that I can reach all of the strings in a reasonably comfortable way and can play the low notes that have been eluding me for a couple of months. Now I just need to spend some quality time working on getting my bowing back (geez, I sound scratchy and screechy!) and I should be back up to snuff in no time.

Even when all of the other noise in my day is seeming completely out of hand, I can remember that I'm able to play the fiddle again and most of the annoying stuff kind of fades to the background.

It's a good thing.

Welcome back!

I thought about a snide comment along the lines of being a real musician again, but then I thought that some banjo players might be upset.

Aw, go ahead and upset the banjo players. That's what they're there for! Sean, I'm real glad to hear you're getting well enough to play the fiddle again because boy, do I need to find some fiddlers to play with!
