That Awful DYNNE

[jazzfish]

So I went and made an Awful DYNNE just now. Yeah, that's right: I broke my cello out of three years' worth of mothballs and tried playing.
Some observations:

• Finger calluses are good. Strings hurt.
• I am at about the level of a third- or fourth-year student. Maybe worse.
• Playing is probably aggravating my right shoulder RSI-related problems.
• About half an hour of that was all I could take.

So I'm goofing off right now. Probably going to read some more, then play some more. Yeah.

How did the cats respond?

I tried to break out my clarinet a couple years ago, only to find that it needed ~$200 worth of Compleat Overhaule, and that such work couldn't be done until after I had to be back at school. Scratched that idea, alas.

Good for you!

If I'm not going to grad school, I'm getting a piano. Then we can find out just how much I've forgotten...
