It's harder than you think

Musings

Yes, it is.  It is very strange but I am about to be reunited with an instrument that I have never really played but was so much the signature sound of the Delta Ladies. Vicky Played the variously named Candela/Chromatic Dulicima on so many of the Delta Ladies songs in the last few years. It has a very distinct sound and was left to me. It will be strange to see it again and the plan is to start playing it eventually all being well. Time will tell. It has not been played for 8 months so I hope it’s fit and healthy.

Christmas this year has been pretty bleak. Perhaps the new year has something to offer or perhaps not.
