    Thank you. I had shoulder surgery 4 weeks ago, so my fiddling has been very limited. Slow and steady!

    Thank you. I enjoy writing music. Not too good at adding lyrics, so I stick to tunes, mostly waltzes, but have done a few others along with some songs with lyrics. Retirement is great!

I just finished directing and acting in our local communist theater musical which ran 3 weekends. We had to shut down 2 years ago, 3 days before we were to open. So nice to be back to live entertainment in…[Read more]

    Oh, my Kate! I am impressed with how you have learned to do back up with garage band and now strum machine, which I have no idea what it is or how to use it. Our little music on line community is so great!

    Good morning Marge, I am out of town, but can certainly send you a recording of the song by the Oyster Crackers. We have a CD and it is all original songs written by myself and Bette Lu Krause (one of the guitarists in our band). We also did a live stream concert during COVID at the Columbia Theatre in Longview, WA. It is on YouTube, and we did…[Read more]

    I’ve been playing for about 6 years. Playing in our band has given me a lot of confidence. I really like posting here, it’s another way to practice with an “audience”. Thank you!

    This is a waltz I composed. It also has a second violin part. My band, The Oyster Crackers, play it with our cello playing harmony and 2 guitars.

    Thanks for the information, Kate. I did this a long time ago. This time I keep getting an “error uploading video” after it completes the download. I am using my ipad. I’ll try doing it on my computer. Thanks for your directions, they are very good!
