My Visit To Sam Ash

My mother-in-law lives next door to a Sam Ash music store and after taking her to a hair appointment and shopping today, I finally went in. Wow! I needed to buy a music stand and wanted to browse some sheet music. I ended up purchasing a book of Mozart for flute and a PINK music stand! But, that's not all........................

I also bought a pink Ukulele! As if I need another hobby ;) Seriously though, I love the sound of a Ukulele. It reminds me of vacation. It's probably going to be the closest I get to Hawaii for a while.

I've learned two important lessons so far trying to teach myself to play: first, I need to cut my nails and second, I will have to practice, practice, practice to make my fingers curl to mash down on only the correct string(s). I love that it is small and lighweight. I have a guitar that I finger pick by ear but it feels so bulky trying to learn to play the chords.

Now, back to practicing my flute with my new pink music stand!
