~bartender, could I have some orange juice? It's citrus season and I want to celebrate it.
I bought a looper. I've briefly tried it out, but this weekend will see me give it a proper spin. I can loop a bassline and a guitar accompaniment to practice on top of. It's gonna be great fun once I get some cool layers going!
Reading sheet music has a surprising consequence where you get better at reading sheet music. I've noticed this playing in a hobbyist orchestra at the worker's institute. The notes themselves are a bit of a tricky business still, but I'm intuiting the rhythm better than before! And if I ever get lost, I can listen to the bass player and catch up from there.
Today's songI've heard this song several times, it's just so captivating! The calm guitar and restrained instrumentation in the beginning, the little jingles from the piano and strings, the big climax with the long note, it's got a lot to like. My favourite part is the last third of the song, it transports me to a certain charming city in Spain on a warm, late night. One with little cafés and restaurants, a long pedestrian street, a beautiful view, people enjoying their time all around.
This'll be a weekend of good feels.
