Amongst other things, I am an amateur folk musician living in Umbria, Italy, with my wife, two dogs and 14 cats. I play guitar, dulcimer guitar, melodeon, mandolin and synth, none especially proficiently, but hey :) As well as folk, I also create electronic music tracks. #Music #Musician #Folk #FolkMusic #FolkMusician #folkies #ImprovisedMusic #AmbientMusic #fedi22

I got myself a hat with a built-in torch. It's great for walking the dogs and having a hand free. But I'm still wondering what the blue and red flashing light is for. I guess it could come in handy should I ever need to impersonate a police car...

I’ve had my for about a month now. Progress is slow but I’m finally at least able to find the bass strings without having to stop and curse.

Here’s a very simple 16th century English piece. Still clunky and uneven but getting there. Playing with no nails for the first time in over 45 years is also a challenge!

@mikebabyak only a month? Wow! That was great...

@mikebabyak it's still great! I don't seem to have what it takes to play a tune on guitar, mandolin or dulcimer, I just strum...

We were doing an online crossword this evening. The clue was "Hairy-stemmed plant with disc-shaped fruit."
I said, The only disc-shaped fruit I can think of is pineapple slices!
