I've been learning me some #blues #guitar

I was never very good at guitar in the past, but I used to play piano and write my own music exclusively. No idea how to play other people's stuff.

I decided to try guitar again cuz I can't really carry a piano around, wanted flexibility.

I've been watching YouTube tutorials, and finding 3/4 time is actually AMAZING for some blues. Used to be my favorite piano time signature.

I got some LUNGS too.

You may see a song from me soon!

Tarren (They/Them)

Performed in an amazing #concert for #ImmigrantJustice last night, with the proceeds going to an organization that supports refugees new to the area. The one song I thought Jo's service dog would freak at, she handeled pretty darn well. I had to use my cane throughout the concert, which was a new experience for me, but it helped a lot. I get to sing with the group again come April 6, when we'll be singing for a service with a visiting speaker, so that will be an awesome close-out on this chapter of my experience with #JusticeChoir of the Midwest, and then at some point we'll be doing an LGBT justice concert for the fall. There's also hopefully going to be an LGBT+ choir meeting in May to perform for Pride in June, and I'm hopeful to get involved with that.
I am tired today, but it was so entirely worth it that while I know I need to rest, I have a damn good reason, which makes that easier. I plan to spend the day probably listening to some Star Trek episodes, maybe just sitting in stillness a bit, basically just generally taking it easy.

Emeritus Prof Christopher May

ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.77

The Persuasions. He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother/You Got a Friend

The Persuasions acapella mash-up of the Hollies hit & a classic Carole King song is a lovely bit of singing & phrasing, showing you can swing without instruments. It'll be a fab little pause in your shuffle; sit back and enjoy the vocal dexterity. Of course, there's a clear link back to gospel, and that's what gives the performance its power.
