Music, Sweet Music

Today I spent some time at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, CA. It was an interactive and informative display of music from the past century, circa 1890-1989. It gave a detailed history of popular music from each decade and the instruments of the period, as well as the advancements made in instruments as well as the whole music industry. As a lover of music of all kinds, this was very informative and worth while. I also got help tuning my guitar (thanks, Lisa) that I have borrowed to get back on track learning to play it. It is not an easy instrument to learn on your own, at least not for me. But, as with anything else in life, it is about practice and putting it to use often, if not daily.
That brings me to my next subject. After lunch, I stopped by Barnes and Noble and picked up a couple of books on writing. Thanks to my friend Dave, I am going to make a concentrated effort to turn off the TV more and learn to write. It has always intrigued me, so I thought now would be as good a time as any to start. English has never been my best subject, so, like the guitar, it will take time and an honest commitment to be good at it.
