Yes, and....

Following the theme of trying to keep up with passion projects...I picked up the guitar

again after a year and a half of not playing it tonight.

I wanted to try and get some of the things that have stuck with me in the last few weeks into some sort of order...and the yes and technique proved to be a great framework for this!

There are lots of talented musicians in our class and I am certainly not up there in terms of musical talent - I just enjoy the freedom of expression that music brings and this is definitely not a perfect song by any means... but I wrote it to push myself outside of my comfort zone and not let the fear of looking like a bit of a wally stop me from creating something.

What with all the briefs floating around at the moment it was nice to just take a break and make something for fun!

Hopefully it will raise a a bit of a smile and make other people feel less nervous about giving stuff a go!

Yes and...
