Hi all, since this thread has been resurrected I thought I'd give an update on our Christmas folk night so here goes, I DIDN'T PLAY AT IT!!!
Everything was organised, I had learned a couple of new tunes, "Ku'u Ipo Onaona" and "Slack Key Hula" and I was all set and looking forward to the night.
About ten days before it I was sitting watching TV and my hands started to get itchy, within about an hour they had swelled up to an alarming degree and I couldn't bend my fingers.
the next day they were just the same so I went to my doctor who diagnosed it as "an extreme allergic reaction to something". "No s**t Sherlock" I replied.
Anyway they ran a lot of tests and never found out what caused it, and after a week or so the swelling went down a bit though my fingers were stiff and painful so I wasn't able to play.
It's only been in the last couple of weeks that I've been able to start playing again, my hands are still a bit puffy and it's still difficult to bend my fingers but I'm hoping things will improve. I can only play the simpler of the tunes I know, "Molehu" and "Maunaloa" and I really have to concentrate on what I'm playing or my fingers go off on their own.
On the subject of "Maunaloa", a few days ago I was messing about with a new webcam and I videoed myself trying to play it. My son discovered it on the PC and put it on Youtube. Then he changed the password so I couldn't delete it (the scamp). He wouldn't tell me the password unless I agreed not to delete it and when I agreed he said he didn't believe me so it's still on there. |

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can. |

Of course, this made me search out the video immediately.
pifarrell, I won't post the link here, since you didn't do so, but I think it was a very sweet rendition and I'm glad your son "shared" it.
Now that the cat's out of the bag, you might as well post some more, yeah?

Then stay out of the well. Let someone else collect the frogs. And the peaches. |
