dreaming music
I’ve been teaching myself to play guitar for the past few months. I try to play 15 minutes a day, although a workingman’s schedule doesn’t always permit. It’s tons of fun (although I can have hours of fun with almost any musical instrument).
Last night I dreamed I was playing a song on the guitar…I remember figuring out what would work for the chorus…I awoke and forthwith in groggy state, went to my guitar and played the song. I then found a piece of staff paper and wrote it out.
I was mightily pleased, I’ve dreamed compositions before but never for guitar. This bodes well for my future with the instrument I think.

I hope you don’t laugh at my simple compositions LV! If/when you hear them… I’m still very much a beginning plucker. But I’ve got the bug. The pluckin bug.
