It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;d played last (10 years?), so I needed to lengthen the straps a bit, but I found my music stand, all my old music, and the songs were coming back to me, albeit slowly.  I&#8217;ve decided I want to take the instrument back up again.  I&#8217;m encouraged in my endeavor by the knowledge that my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daviddg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">first accordion teacher<\/a> had a similar lapse in his attention towards the instrument, only to pick it back up many years later and master it.  So compared to him, I&#8217;m getting a head start, though admittedly I probably wasn&#8217;t as good at fifteen as he was at twelve.  But who knows.  If I can play &#8220;Bianche Marguerite&#8221; and &#8220;Occhi Scuri&#8221; with <i>feeling<\/i> by the summer I&#8217;ll be happy.

After innumerable frustrations, the wiring harness is off the car again and winging its way towards the Netherlands, where it will be picked over and corrected by someone whose wiring expertise is much greater than mine.  So perhaps in a few weeks we should have a running car?  *sigh*<\/p>\n<p>Gazette day today.
