It seems like someone beat me to the pom pom joke but mine is a little different...male cheerleaders? dont go there, please

Kabalevsky cola, sounds good bet it has lots of kick!

Anyways, some girl I was talking to last night told me that I live in a cave because I didn't know she was talking about Jennifer Lopez when she referred to her as "jay-low". I then thought to myself that I never would have made it through college if I didn't live in a cave.

Consequently, I may now be referred to by new nickname "cavey"

Other than that, im really taking my time with the chaconne, only playing a few bars at a time. Im in no hurry to get that one down but I figure in time Ill have it. The chords are so hard to play but I am totally used to them by now, my hand is used to stretching huge distances from my guitar studies. I can see how a beginner could be discouraged by trying to play this.

I have also been messing around with some vivaldi and mozart 4 the last few days. Im so hooked on mozart 4 I asked my brother to buy me the complete mozart concertos for christmas because I cant afford it right now and the library wants their copy back. Besides the library only has a mini score, anyone who is reading that little mini book would get a headache trying to read the notes.

Slow steady progress is fine for me right now, Im having fun spending time out with my friends on the town but soon it will be too cold to practice and Im running out of spending money so it may be time for a second job very soon more than likely, joy.

Until next time,
Cavey
