@ABitRusty Finished the sweater last night. Put it away. The sweater is actually one that fits and that I will wear. First one like that! 

I just added to Stringy's Spring Plant party. I can now get back to Sweet Jenny Jones!

By the way, via conversation with Fiddlerman, you can post a video or audio file in the party room that does not show you playing, if you are not after a badge. We are after participation, so if you want to add to that, feel free. I added an mp3 audio file.

This morning I was working on the viola part of Sweet Jenny Jones. I forgot how much I like my viola because I have been spending more time with my cello and violin. 

I think that after I am more comfortable with my viola part, I will record my cello part and listen to that with my earbuds while playing my viola. That will be interesting...but fun.

I am pleased that if you are not after a badge in the Party Room, you can post audio or videos that so not show you playing. I am hoping we get some creative videos. It is. party room, and we should have fun.Plus, some who just don't show themselves, can now participate. I was able to load two mp3 files to JohnG's party because of this.

I need to smooth out my viola Sweet Jenny Jones. I will add it here after I get it better. I will do the cello last, although, that might be a backwards way of doing it, but what can I say. I do a lot of things backwards. Makes for more fun. But is probably why my foresight is so bad! 😂😂😂😂 Hindsight pretty good!

I am in a bit of a conundrum. I am finding it easier to do violin than cello, except for the E string, which I will get eventually. Please no vids showing it, appreciate the thought, but not helpful. I think the viola would be the same, except, I haven't tried it of late. 

I do find that I still prefer it over my violin, I love the deep sound, but I am having issues, probably associated with aging. Not going into the specific issues in here. I am not sure if I should go with whatever is telling me to do more violin, or put up with it and do more cello anyway. 

I do not dislike my violins. Not at ll, I just like the mellow cello. I have not done shifting in my violin. I may find that is more difficult horizontally on a violin or viola fingerboard that it is in a slanted vertical cello vertical fingerboard, how I love shifting on my cello. 

The violin and viola are more portable, and I can go out on my porch or back deck easily, but I do like the cello sound. I like the happier songs I can do on my violin, but that cello sound...

I have shied away from all for a while, I know kind of weird. It is sad. I can still play my cello, but sessions are shorter, and have to be. few days apart. 

I have some things to get done here, then I am going to have to do some serious thinking.
