A friendly little post that won't upset other bloggers in our little blogging community.

 I did three hours of violin practice yesterday. Remember how I hurt my middle left hand finger erecting shelves the other day? Well, I've now hurt my left hand ring finger with too much practice. I'm now the Django Reinhardt of the violin.

Good to hear that Mr Magoo's Peter's readership is up. This is because he is doing some proofreading of his posts, so three people are looking at his posts now.

Talking of posts, Robert (the quite a few things)'s last post was a cracker!


Hang on. It has disappeared! We're back with the 15835 fingering for Somewhere Over The Rainbow. In the key of C the first 5 chords (first 2 bars) would be... 

[CGCEC] [AEACE] [EBEGB] [CGCEG - for Cmaj7 to C7 (no change of notes)]

Imagine how much nicer it would sound if he used a voicing to cover the 7ths and less 5ths...

|Cmaj7 Am7| Em7/ Cmaj7 C7|

I hope that helps Robert (the quite a few things).


Here's a picture of a dog.


People like pictures of dogs and I thought this might cheer people up.

Well, that's it from me for this morning.

Leave a comment if you like.

Ciao tutti.

I think I prefer it when You're upsetting people.
Still, great proofreading and a good little post.
9/10 on The Curmudgeon scale.
Well done that man!

You don't need a capital y on 'You're' TC but thanks for the very good rating.

Mea culpa.
I may not have been good enough for the 'P' classes at college but I do know enough Latin when I'm in the wrong which of course is why I know that Latin phrase.
I am wrong. I am guilty. I'm very sorry for pretending to be another blogger just in the interests of self-aggrandisement. May Sister Mary Fruitloop thrash me.
I am, to quote myself, a very naughty and silly boy.

Who told you I was practising my trumpet for ANZAC day? Now the secret's out!

All the best for ANZAC day.
I didn't know that the ceremonies were going ahead.

7ths in church? That's unusual.

Maybe just on the dominant 7th chords?
