Ya know. I'm an introvert. I love social activities and being around people because of course humans are social animals.
However; being an introvert means that I need time alone to charge. I like being alone because I do alone things - like read, exercise, think and listen to music. I really have no problem being alone.
I absolutely fell in love with Soren Madsen's (a Danish musician) guitar arrangement of the James Hatfield/Lars Ulrich song "Nothing Else Matters". So, I ordered his guitar arrangement from his website. It cost $5. I loved it so much that I am going to get these fingers moving again like they used to and learn how to play it. It looks like something I can do. And getting back into playing music is something I feel I must do. I played violin for 7 years (1st violin 2nd chair). I played piano. (If I could only talk my husband into getting a nice used one from somewhere!) Music has always been a part of my life. It will even help me get through this one lung cancer thing.
When I was an inspector in a production factory the strenuous work killed my hands and fingers. I had to wear a brace on my arms and finger less gloves for my hands for the pain. I tried playing my guitar but my hands and fingers hurt too much. I think it's time now to recondition them to where they used to be.
So here goes to being patient with myself - and getting back into playing the guitar and learning how to read the notes all over again. I hope I still have it in me - someplace back in that mind of mine.
Listen to it again. Crank it up if need be.....
