LOL C-flat!

Here's some "musical fitness" news ... I never realized that even the laid-back "sport" of playing the classical guitar can be unhealthy until now. Spent hours and hours practicing some exciting new material last week, without bothering to dig out my old "foot stand".   I just crossed my right leg over my left instead, to raise the guitar to a workable height. Well, at 20 it didn't seem to matter at all but now? NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!

I've had one godawful sore hip / lower back for the last 2 days ... just got back from the chiropractor, in fact. Her treatment brought some instant relief, and she chastised me "No more leg-crossing! Prop up your foot with a phone book or two if you can't find the stand ... and give the martial arts routine a break for a few days too, will you!"

Cracks me up (quite literally) ... thanks for listening!
