We have a plumber coming sometime around 8am, so I've been out moving my car onto the road, delivering my elderly neighbour's paper and taking out some extra rubbish - the rubbish man often shows up at about 7am or slightly after. In about an hour I need to drive a car to Seaview for my daughter. She's selling her pink Barbie car because she is heading to Melbourne in a month or so.
Hey, Peter, no need to start calling me Ken. The car is going.
I practised for 30 minutes on the double bass yesterday. I've decided that it's time to get my double bass going again. I have five unaccompanied solo pieces that I will concentrate on. They are all originals.
- Sii Gentile
- Almost Blues
- Gypsy Feet
- My Gentle Giant
- Shelley, My Dear
Sii Gentile translates to Be Kind and is dedicated to our past prime minister who really coined that phrase. Almost Blues is a 14 bar blues. Gypsy Feet is an up tempo swing tune in the Gypsy Jazz style. My Gentle Giant is a piece I wrote for my double bass. Well, next to my violin, he/she IS a giant. I often refer to the last piece as SMD so as not to embarrass the person who bears its name. It is a piece, in the Bluegrass tradition, that I have played for many years.
Hopefully I'll get some quality violin practice done today.
Well, that's all from me this morning.

I think that you are more of a Len than a Ken.
What's the dentist thing about?
Peter McDonald can Trump anyone, except Robert, at golf.
Thorndon humour.
Sorry about the sophistication.
Robert had god on his side.
But that dentist joke is soooooooooooooo old.
Thorndon is one of the oldest suburbs in New Zealand so we appreciate old jokes.
Hey! You’d fit right in.
Raccoontown.
Good morning.
You obviously like pink as you are loth to move on from this post.
