To my Diary and its readers It has been a while since my last documentation of progress. I can say that new worlds open for me as I learn cross picking, really work on right hand technique and learn different chords like F sharp major. I allow the textures of chords to take hold as I play, each new song having its key, its central idea, its own colour and texture - At present it is the blue and crimson of f# minor. The beige and biscuit and cream of e-minor and the honey comb of E major. As Louis Armstrong sang: "What a wonderful world."
