Last night I finally got down to some serious practice with my Boss Loop Station. It took a while to remember how to patch things between my guitar, my amp, and my mixer but in the end I got a reasonable sound from it all. I was very excited with the progress I seemed to make on several looper arrangements: ‘Always on my mind‘, ‘Girl of the North Country‘ and ‘Folsom prison blues‘. However, one really does have to be absolutely spot on time with a looper and I think I need to give myself more time to practice before I include these arrangements in my shows. I did wonder about playing them tonight at my Terra Fyrmusica gig but I think that is now unlikely.
As for sauces, I have notched up two more of Julia’s recipes. I am cheeting really because Béchamel sauce is the base or the first step in making Source Mornay (cheese sauce). I made it in a very small quantity using only a quarter pint of milk. It is sometimes a challenge to make recipes for a single serving and I am interested in attempting to do that where possible.
I got the sheet music for ‘She‘ today. This was originally a Charles Aznavour song but Elvis Costello did a great version (that was the one in the film ‘Notting Hill‘). I would like to try to learn this song on piano. That’s all for now. Talk to you later, my dear blogophiles.
