Jun. 3rd, 2005 12:10 amAm sorry but as is apparent I missed the deadline to post the Fruits FST on the comm after all. ^^; Came home late that evening and forgot to do so, and in any case so many helpful song suggestions were provided that I'm going to have to resequence. So v.2.0 to come at some later date. Lea Monde FST progresses apace, not least because one of my co-workers randomly dumped me half a dozen flamenco guitar albums fresh off Bittorrent.
(EDIT -- Oh well there's a week's extension? Best get cracking, then.)
I've not mentioned this but my sister bought an acoustic guitar a week or so back. So now I'm trying to learn how to play from her book; it is haaard. The piano has the advantage of not hurting one's fingers, but it is not as portable. (FTR, were I to be in a band I would want to be the bass player. My bandmates can ham it up while I stand to one corner of the stage, looking aloof, strumming away detachedly with my feet slightly apart and encased in interesting shoes. I would also contribute occasional backing vocals.)
