Sunday 02/02/2025
Usual quiet Sunday morning. At 10 I met with Peter and a lecturer he is sponsoring, to rehearse for an event later this week. The rest of the day I played some music, and read a whole book of poetry by Ellen Bass. At supper time I felt asocial and walked by myself to the Creamery for a grilled cheese sandwich, but not for the chocolate shake we used to get there, just coffee. Walked down University and noticed an ice cream store, Salt & Straw, which somebody had praised to me, so had a single scoop of mint chip. It was OK but not worth the praise I’d heard.
At the restaurant the sound system was playing old Neal Young stuff and I think I could probably learn to play “Harvest Moon“. Gonna work on that.
Later: nope. There are plenty of tutorials on how to play it, and it would be relatively easy to learn — in Neal Young’s key. Unfortunately that is totally the wrong key for me, I can’t match the highs, or if I sing an octave below Neal, I can’t reach the lows. So I would have to transpose it at least 4 steps, from D to say, G? But that would make all the online tutorials useless. Bleagh.
