Set out a week ago to lay a new pine floor in the porch but discovered so much rot I haven't actually got to the floor yet. Maybe tomorrow. New joists and walls are in and if it doesn't rain maybe I'll do some painting.

Oh, you mean music? Sorry.

How come everyone's learning mandolin? Everywhere I go with mine I'm a hit and I don't want any competition. Just kidding of course. The amazing thing to me is how many people are completely unfamiliar with the mandolin. "What kinda guitar is that?" they say, as if everything is a guitar. Even the country crowd doesn't necessarily know.

Sinner Man. This Is My Father's World, fingerpicked in G, after having let it go for a while. Own compositions, including one for Christmas. And generally trying to get my vocals up to par with my guitar work. Oh yeah, and a new band soon to be hatched.

So much music, so little time.

Mooh.
