Concertina...

If you said, "Kinda like an accordion, but cooler."  You get 25 bonus points.

Mark and I have been sending files back and forth on the recording of Piano Man.  He decided to add a concertina track and asked if I'd put in a guitar track.  Listen to this one - can you hear the concertina?  Subtle, but adds to the feel of the song.  I like it!

I put in a guitar track (used my Emerald X7) and since I was plugging in, I added a lower octave vocal (also subtle) on that same track.  We're out of tracks, so this will probably be as far as we go with this one...

And, on an upbeat note, yesterday feels like a turning point: eliminating the Tylenol and Hydrocodone feels great.  My body is quite happy with ibuprofen.  A good night's sleep last night.  No pain when I first got out of bed this morning; well, not much pain.  I did my morning walk; came across neighbors David and Susan.  They both remarked that the walking looked good... and Susan said, "You are smiling.  I haven't seen that it a while.  I think that is a very good sign."

Yeah.  It has been a tough 5 weeks.  Looking forward.  I walked 12 lots (my unit of measure) this morning.  There and back is about 960 feet; close to 3 city blocks.  If I get too much further away, Joan may have to put a GPS tracker on me.  ;-)
