It's great that you're trying new things, and writing like mad, and writing things you like.

Insist on learning how to read music. You have such an incredibly fluid mind and remember, there are only seven notes. Well eight but two of those are the same note. And variations thereof. You can do it.<br />love,<br />RebeccaRadish Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534752971317927559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029878056983066235.post-11153804510237360422012-09-29T15:06:43.806-07:002012-09-29T15:06:43.806-07:00I love it, John.I love it, John.Tom Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956557701199101102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029878056983066235.post-82812598261403390342012-09-29T14:05:19.998-07:002012-09-29T14:05:19.998-07:00Thank you Tom.

Guess who will have his first viola lesson ever this coming Wednesday? I decided that learning an instrument will go a long way towards helping me stay sane. Learning how to do something with my right hand, something completely different with my left and using the rest of my mindbody to keep it all together ... My goal: twinkle twinkle little star. After that, and in its time, if I live long enough, the Bach will happen ...John B-Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041221232768939991noreply@blogger.com
