July is winding down fast, and the best way to describe the last few weeks is that events and projects have been scattered, and likely will continue to be until school starts.
We took two trips in June, one to Kentucky, and one to Oregon. I wanted to meet up with Jim B. while in OR, but the birth of his grand daughter was later than the doctors predicted, so our schedules didn't work out. I wanted to play some music with Jim at Lithia Park in Ashland, OR, something on my bucket list. Jim bought "Possum In A Pear Tree", and it would have been fun to have a two possum jam together. My son and I got to play in the Pacific Ocean, and we all went on jet boat trip on the Rogue River. I was mostly really glad to see some of my family.
My real job training for school bus driving is going well, and I may have my CDL by next week. Then I will get to drive for reals after school starts.
I am working on the 1/4 size possum fiddle for my son, and I am on the neck as of this writing. I do so hope he will want to learn to play, but you can't always force these things. It will be a fun thing to have around regardless.
The way things are going, I don't know if there will be enough time for me to help Jed build a guitar and a mandolin by this spring, so he will need to choose which one he wants to do most, and if there's time for the other, okay.
I might be having a "Back to School Sale" for August and September. Contact me if any of you have an interest in violin, and we'll parlez.
