Aloha everyone,

I had some internet bandwidth issues and had to tend to them. I was attempting to upload the audio and .pdf for my latest tune, "Skipping Down the Lane" and I apologize if this results in a double post. Anyway, this is a happy-go-lucky tune and I hope y'all enjoy it.

Very cool! It has sort of an "Ash Grove"/Colonial feel to it!

What a lot of people don't realize, is that writing new material actually aids us in our learning process. It helps us understand & remember different scales & keys in a manner that is fun!

I'm sure there was a point where you were trying different notes that didn't sound right. For a beginner, that's the first little baby step to learning something as complex as keys or accidentals!

I've wrote a ton of easy pieces that helped me with playing scales. It pretty cool to see them evolve as my ability & knowledge grow!
