but I've never been able to find any music stores that stock proper harmonicas or any real lessons, so I figured it was a silly pipe dream
just today I discovered and registered for a 5 hour harmonica workshop with one of the best players in Australia, complete with your own free proper harmonica
talk about any silly dreams you managed to fulfill here
I've always wanted to play an instrument but never really caught on any in spite of learning at them pretty quick
now I bought myself a keyboard and utilizing what I already know about music and free sheet music am improving pretty quickly! my hands found their own way around the keys sight-reading something today and I was like "shit, yes"

I would so get in on that, if i had an ounce of musical talent
Thats good if you like the blues Fari, because the blues is like the easiest kind of music to improv, I've always thought.
With a few scales, decent picking skills, and a backround jamtrack you can just sit and play for hours.
"Australia's best harmonica player" seems like a really sad thing to have at the top of one's resume
Shit Pooro, you'd be the best Harmonica player in the Southern hemisphere because I mean it's not like there is anything else in the half of the world of worth.
So I was thinking about picking up a pair of bongos.
I was wondering since I can get my hands on some decent looking ones if I would notice a big difference between sounds right now, as I dont have a huge variety to pick from locally.

One time I was sitting in my local mall, eating shitty chinese food with Whippy. I was sitting facing the main entrance, and as I brought a bite of burned chow mein up to my lips, a guy walked in. This guy was heavyset, big, and had a mane of dreadlocks and a big ol' black beard. This guy was also playing a dijeridoo. Just walking around, playing a dijeridoo. He was really into it, too, like any second he was going to sniff, miss the scent of nag champa, then look up and realize that he wasn't in his apartment anymore.
Just then, Whippy looks up at me, and notices that I've been holding this bite of chow mein for like ten seconds and staring open-mouthed at something behind him. He looks at what I'm looking at, and then turns back to me with a look on his face. Here is an artist's rendition of the look on his face:
I guess I'm a bad multiculturalist because I think the didj is so-so.
edit: Sorry, that whole story and all you get from me is some ancillary comment.
Hm
Man that kind of shit is an everyday thing here. I get acosted by street people every day...and half of them have a story about why, 'hey, I just need 1.34$ more and I can afford the gas to drive home!' The other half are playing music.
Some are fucking horrible...like laughably bad where it's like, why are out here doing this? You're just making shit up and there isn't even any rhythm or semblance to what you're doing with those bongos. Some, on the other hand, are fucking amazing.

That's funny because my life is full of them.
Big dreams

:^:
i wanna get a feel for some chords and moving my fingers around and stuff and after that find a teacher
someday
it's one of those things that's easy to be ok at but really hard to be good at
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
"I finally registered to take a harmonica lesson!"
I was expecting, you know
something else?
'sup with that
well look it's something dumb enough that I never thought I'd get the courage to do or go out and find and rare enough that it'd be hard to find
I still have my big dreams of course but it's neat that a little one happened
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some

If I could do it, I'd do anything to become a fighter pilot.
It doesn't help that my cousin can play the guitar and is learning to fly a plane as we speak.
harmonica's got the blues
that shit is sacred
lay off
(the kazoo should only ever play national anthems and yakkety sax
unless somebody suggests some other good things to play on a kazoo)
