Old Friends

So I got home from work today and had about 1/2 hour to kill till Claire had supper on the table.   The day had sapped my energy and I was drained.    Walked by the TV and paused - then decided to hit the music room.   You really can't get much done in a 1/2 hour practice, so I decided to pull my Mandola down from the wall and see how it sounded.  Hadn't touched her in about 6 months??  Maybe longer...   Anyway, after I tuned er up I picked out on of my favorite tunes (John Stinsons #2) and it sounded great.   Felt pretty good too.   The heavier woodier tone was so different than the  mandolin, guitar, or banjo.   Started to feel pretty good, and playing the tune in a different position made it all seem new.    The chords are voiced differently too and they sounded real good.   Funny how easy it is to get together with an old friend and things are just as good as last time!

So I played for what seemed 30 seconds and it was time for dinner.   How fast time passes when you are getting re-aquinted with your old friends.    It'll be continuing my reunion tommorw!
