I went off on a massive tangent (justifiably of course) with that last post. I was meaning to say that my season at TI is done with, my last camp finished yesterday and I won't have any more. The season only has two weeks left for them and they don't need any additional staff.
So this leaves me at home practizing away at my banjo :) I've been jamming with a couple people and it looks like it will be a regular occurrence. Last Sunday we played and exchanged songs. I walked away with a bunch of mp3s of songs to work on this week: Red Haired Boy, Salt Creek, Sail Away Ladies, John Brown's Dream
Last Sunday's recordings:
John Brown's Dream
Red Haired Boy
As you can tell from the recordings, I'm with some pretty awesome musicians (Tanya and Worth). I'm going to have to get my chops back up to snuff if I'm going to play with them. It's awesome to have other musicians around that will elevate my own musicianship, give me a goal to work on, and a focus on the banjo. I will have to dust off my old Sansa mp3 player to make more recordings, or i could actually use my birthday-present-mic with my iPod...
Now I'm going to let the songs sink into my brain and muscles and head to Mui Wo for cilantro (aka Chinese Parsley.... took us a while to figure that one out....) and bell peppers (or as the KiwiBrits call them, "capsicums") maybe some tomatoes too. Oh yea, and ingredients to finish my Irish Cream to go with my "Lake Champlain Sunrise" coffee

Practice Practise Practice
It's weird, when i wrote the title I had to actually think if a "z" should be in there. Damn you American English, you should just never use "z" like the Brits do.
i.e.
"Lets go see the sebras at the soo"
"I'm tired, I'm going to catch some sss's"
"Run to your rezidence! the sombiez broke through the zafe sone!"

"incy wincy insect"
Activity with 2nd graders this morning, mine is a flying scorpion, bred for it's fighting skills, which are only matched by it's enticing beauty. Its multiple stingers neutralize threats quickly, but they will occasionally take on a mind of their own stinging without purpose or reason anything that comes near it. This adaptation continues to baffle scientists all across china.

They just poured this cement like a month ago...
I'm not sure what they are doing, but if it makes our kitchen sink water less brown or our bathroom water less non-existent, they can jack hammer all the cement in Sun Wai
