...random bits leading to blues...

Once again the Wahkiakum Acoustic Guitar Society was fortuned to be hosted by the wonderful folks at the Inn at Lucky Mud, relaxing in the warm, comfortable, and acoustically bright main room right off the foyer. Pluck a string, play a riff, unfetter your fingers a bit, and you can hear every tone clearly.

As the first to arrive this evening, I had a chance to talk with a resident musical savant (and one of the professional musicians in the group) Sunrise Fletcher, babbling and bantering a bit about styles, scales,  and other scintillating subjects of a musical sort.

Our scheduled featured performance was delayed due to life's logistical  liquidity (ok, ok, so I'm stretching my alliterations a bit here),  but we hope to see the much anticipated Glen Bristow debut in the near future.

The songs rather rotated around, providing each of us an excuse to trot out any tried-and-true or even transitory demonstration of digital dexterity. The manual manipulation of melodious mastery was interspersed with technical discussions of the relationships between chord changes and scalar structures--bits of which went over my head (but in a good way, in that it helps my understanding of the underlying music/guitar theory grow to encompass new dimensions of jazz, flamenco, and classical). At any rate, it was yet another wonderful evening of guitar, music, theory, and bits O' frivolity.

Our duly (s)elected president (perhaps "drafted" would be more accurate) Rick Nelson came up with a *theme* (blues) for this upcoming meeting on Wednesday the 4th of April (at 7pm, the usual time, at the Inn at Lucky Mud). For Wednesday night's gathering, everyone should bring a blues tune or three.   

Hope to see you there!
