ign0t0I live in the county of Wiltshire. I'm not far from Stonehenge. Where did you visit? Where in the US are you from? I've always wanted to visit the US.
CamessI haven't been there. I attended a weeklong violin making course in Cambridge twice. The first my family and I visited various places in Ireland. We couldn't go this past year because of covid. I'm from Oklahoma(a born and bred okie!
ign0t0You should! It's lovely. I might be a bit biased though! A violin making course?! I didn't even know such things existed! Was it good? Do you play a violin?
CamessI looked it up and it does indeed look lovely! Yes it was! Woodworking is fun and relaxing! I was making a viola. No I don't play violin...yet. But I will after I finish making one! 😁 I play guitar.
ign0t0Wiltshire is a lovely county! I still can't believe you would travel all that way to make a viola. I'll have to find a video of one being made to see what it's like. What kind of music do you play?
CamessWell I only play a few genres because others are a bit advanced for me, as I only do rhythm. But I play/sing bluegrass, gospel, some contemporary Christian and of course my own songs. But I would love to play classical, and my all-time fave--Irish! How bout u? Do play any instruments?
ign0t0Have you ever thought about playing piano? No, I don't play any instruments. I wish I could though! I don't have the patience for it.
CamessWow funny you should ask that. I did take piano lessons for a short time, but it didn't quite hold the attraction the guitar did. As far as patience goes, anyone who knows me knows I'm the queen of impatience! So if I can learn, so can u!
ign0t0Ah, understandable. I guess piano is more complex too. Are you in a band? Thank you! One day I will have a go at learning to play an instrument!
CamessNot really. My family played with the idea of a family band, and we performed a couple times but only a song or two. Mostly I play by myself, or with musicians at jams and festivals
