I was upstairs in my house rummaging around for something. My sad cello just sat in it's corner. I've played the cello since I was 6 years old. I've let that talent slide in the past years. Life has caught up to me. And the cello needs to be repaired. I will have to start looking for a place to get it fixed. I've been feeling the tug of the strings lately. I have a degree in music with concentrations in composition and history. I was at one time a very good cellist, but that will need practice to get back to that caliber. I didn't focus on performance because it didn't interest me. I didn't want my enjoyment of playing to be ruined by the drudgery of having to perform. What kind of logic is that? Care to share your hidden talents?Mighty Mouse GL

I play trombone...poorly...but I love it....none of my friends have ever heard me play a single note...
I know exactly what you mean. I'm full of ideas and knitting mojo until the second I commit to making something for someone else.
I have at least 5 projects on the needles right now, all about 5% done.
Meh.
Get that thing fixed!!! Cello music is beautiful. I have played guitar for 17yrs and I took a few years off as well. The chords were a little harder to hold and I forgot most of the scales and riffs I knew but it does come back to you. I will be searching I-Tunes for your first single.
