Anyways, as I get better playing, the enjoyment factor just goes up and up and up.
It used to be a struggle to learn new tunes, now it just comes right along and my fingers are dancing along in no time at all. At sessions, I notice myself playing phrases by ear to tunes I've never attempted to learn. There's been some self imposed pressure to get a good number of tunes under my belt to minimize 'down time' at the session. No more! I lost count a long time ago and now I'm going to do it right, take my sweet time to learn each tune, savor the learning experience. I've been thinking I may even start to research the tune's history as well. I just want the full ITM experience.I just had to take a moment and appreciate. It is strange how life works things out. I never would have guessed that music would ever play such a big part. ... and a whistle of all things.
