Fun For Me ... Music For You

This morning I was up at 8:00.

Only a "little" headache today!

The migraine is gone! However, my eyes are still sore from the strain from yesterday.

I watched "Beaches" with Bette Middler.

Tom (my son) called and I went over and picked him up. He went to Hannibal with me to pick up my paycheck. Then we went to The Jam Factory to see Chris and Melanie. I paid on my fiddle while I was there.

AND ...

Got to bring her home!!! She's wonderful! Great tone quality! Just rings when I play it! Her name is Minnie Pearl.

Tom and I had lunch at McDonalds ... well ... we bought lunch there and ate it in the car on the way home.

He made fun of my driving.

Drove back across the state line to Quincy,
took Sondra her paycheck and then dropped Tom off.

Called my Mom, Doug, my Dad and a student to tell them about my new fiddle!! My Dad wasn't home but everyone else was.

Practiced my memorized pieces for 45 minutes.
Then ...
Couldn't resist and got it back out and played for 30 more minutes!!!
I spent that time working on some new tunes.
I memorized one of them for Charlie.
He's always wanting me to play "Molly Put the Kettle On".
I'm ready for next time!!!

I teach from 4:00 to 6:00 and then I'm off to La Gondola from 7:00 to 8:30 and then out to Ely for the rest of the evening. Minnie Pearl will get to meet everyone! She's very excited! So am I!!! I've got her all tucked into her case right now and she's taking a nap. She's got a long evening ahead of her!!!
