| Dear Wanda and the rest of the patch. I rarely post. I thought that you were supposed to watch with your eyes; listen with your ears; keep your mouth shut. I have learned so much from Wanda's posts,for example, at least six arrangements of songs that I would never have tried to learn had I not found them there. So thank you Wanda for many year's worth of inspiration. And thank you to the so many people in the patch and on you tube who have shared their mana with me without knowing it. I'll miss not getting my weekly fix. And apologies for for lurking. I am betting there are a lot of shy people out there who are very grateful like me but don't speak up. |

Wanda I rarely post, read a little here and there, i don't often look at the lists, occasionally I do because they lead me to seek out new music to me at least, i'm still very much a learner on my chosen instrument which is the uke and the taropatch tunings, I've been immersed in various tutorials of late between my work and play uke every day learning and working out Hawaain medleys with the girl who loves banjos who has permanetly borrowed Skylark my baritone because she loves playing one of Dave Heaukoniana? vaquero cowboy tunes.
I have a mind one day to purchase a guitar and get some slack key books for that, everytime I go into a shop I can't decide what guitar to buy and the best ones are too expensive and I sit back with my uke and Dave H's slack key book and Mark Nelson's slack key book and i get hooked again on the four strings with the drop g bass and i learn so much from these books which help me when the girl who loves banjos and me go and sit in pubs to play with musicians.
Only the other week I went a folk club filled with guitar players, some a bit sniffy about the rights and wrongs of what was folk and what was not and I got up and played a couple of slack key tunes on Grace my concert uke with the drop g in taropatch tuning, one was Moanna Chimes. An old friend got up and came over and said "that was bloody marvellous" and was going out to get himsself a uke like mine.
My point is you can't please everyone but its nice when a face comes out the crowd and says they appreciate it that for me is what it is all about.

Mahalo you guys. As I said in a post further up the pages on this thread, I did reconsider, especially after Norm Markowitz poited out that if my intent is to share the music, I get a much wider audience involved in Hawaiian music this.
I do thank you all for your comments and your aloha.
Now go look at this week's Mele Monday list and enjoy!
