A Tune A Week

I’ve known this one for a goodly while in D; now I’ve learned it in C. Turns out it’s pretty easy if I’m careful not to run out of air, but the different bellows changes give it a bit of a different sound. Stand back, I’m branching out.

Also from the Jackie Daly album, tastily placed after Rising Sun. This one’s a bit tricky. It’s using parts of the A scale I’m not used to, like the high G# on the right side. I’m accustomed to having my right hand sit in one place, not dance all around like some kind of crazed spider.

I don’t think it’s what I thought before - it doesn’t hurt in the right place. I finally asked the doctor about it; on the diagnosis form, he checked the box beside “Synovitis/tendonitis/other,” which translated from Doc-ese means, “Who knows, but at least it ain’t broken.”
