The Basso Living Room Take (Patreon)

A friend asked me to play the tune from an old YouTube video, so I gave it a shot! 

There's something I've been putting off, but I GOTTA make it happen this weekend. Hold me to it please dear patron! 

Hanging my violins back up on the wall seems to be the most vital step for me to play them regularly. I haven't had them up and out on display since I moved back to Texas in 2019 and then started the process adopting Oscar.

It takes about 4 minutes to get it out of the case and get the shoulder rest attached. But that's too much most days apparently! 

One of my students said something like, "When the violin is out in the open, she's always there staring you down to make you guilty."

I feel more exposed playing violin for a video in my own living room than I do up on a stage in front of 400 people. Add drums, amplification and especially my sis on guitar and I feel like an unstoppable super woman. 

I've been getting nudges from various directions, including you dear patrons, to play more violin, and share it, especially in this informal YouTube style video. 

So stay tuned.... 

Here in Texas we are getting the first snaps of weather cold enough for my favorite comfort foods. I forgot until I was up to my elbows in eggs and home made bread crumbs how many steps there are to my famous recipe, Grandma Jenny's Meatloaf.

Dinner tonight will be good, but I'm most looking forward to the meatloaf sandwiches for the next few days!!! :-P

Gotta go check it now!

Have a great weekend. Stay warm and cozy.

xoxo,
Jenny
