Slowly Melting - 12 String Unpacked

 

Various Samples of 12 String Guitar Songs

Artist:  8 Minute Axe

For me...

life is at a much slower pace now.

It seems the melting of the snow is at my same pace.

Very little has seemed to have melted away in the past two days 

since it had stopped snowing.

But...

this was my first real snow since I moved here less than 2 months ago.

I wanted to see how long it would take for it to melt.

For sure...

the next time it snows heavily...

I will plow the driveway whenever it gets to be about a foot high.

I almost didn't make it out last time.

I had to lock it into 4 wheel drive.

I may even shovel my balcony on the second floor as it falls...

to keep it from building up.

I thought that it would melt away rather quickly once the sun came out.

But...

now that I know...

especially when a big snow storm strikes...

I will have to keep ahead of it as it falls.

I will also be shopping for snow boots...

as during particularly heavy snows...

I will be spending more than a few minutes at a time outside.

And with high winds...

my feet could really suffer without good snow boots.

I already have snow clothes...

so, the boots will complete the set.

I made Kung Pao Chicken and Stir fried veggies for supper.

I had spiced it up a little too much...

but, I ate my fill anyway.

I decided to unpack my 12 string guitar.

I am going to work on a song I had wanted to play once I got here.

It epitomizes my life here.

It will be a completely instrumental take on a famous song.

I will be using the 12 string...

my Max 10 music arranger...

my Bass Flute...

and perhaps...

my 6 string bass guitar.

I will have to see.

It will take me a while as I am not particularly skilled...

and I will have to learn the song...

and break down the various instruments...by ear.

I will add my own variations as well.

But...

as I have intimated...

I have all the time in the world.

I focus on one small project at a time...

and one day at a time.

My life is filled with serenity...

and all the time I could ever want to fulfill my passions in life.

Yes...

life is good.
