An enjoyable afternoon with my friends today.

I know that my Burl Jam friends are hitting are hitting a "zone." We have spent over four hours in Mike's garage for our last two jam sessions. Today, we did a totally new tune at my suggestion: Albatross, by Fleetood Mac. Of course, we were honoring Christine McVie, who passed away recently. We also did songs by Dylan, Miles Davis, the Byrds, Mose Allison, John Prine, Russell Smith, and some originals. I played bass, guitar and piano today. I'm getting more comfortable on the piano in "odd" (to me) keys, like E-major. It has four sharps, but I was able to find them. I hope everyone had a good day. I'm going to check the news and settle in before I go to bed. I hope there were no natural disasters, horrible battles in Ukraine, or plane crashes today. I was in music-land and was oblivious to the outside world today.

@celticeagle When one of those third world Middle Eastern countries shot down one of our drones, he did overreact. He had (or supported) the military shoot one of their drones. No biggie. But I agreed with him on that.

If spending half of the day at the hospital can be considered good, it was not a bad day. We had a nice walk in the afternoon.

@TheHorse My husband had a MRI scan and it lasted a long time. I went with him and I waited for him. I never let him go alone.

Why did you spend half the day at the hospital? That does not sound like fun.

I'm glad you had a good time with your friends, pony... I haven't heard about anything terrible happening around the world but I don't pay attention so I may not hear bad things. *shrug*

@DaddyEvil I won't check out the latest political stuff until I'm almost ready for bed. I'm glad there were no big disasters today.

Music land is a good place to be. Much better than some of the alternatives.
