#alas you cannot catch me dragging an 80-lb harp out onto the porch

[ailinu]

aw man, nothing makes you want to have a casually-playable instrument on hand like hearing someone else with one, huh

#my neighbor across the street was out on his porch with a guitar this afternoon #'casually-playable' in like. it's easy to just kind of whip it out and have a little music #alas you cannot catch me dragging an 80-lb harp out onto the porch #(if you've stopped by a harp practice stream though: thank you. i love you.) #it's not that i want to learn guitar necessarily #so much as i miss the part of being younger where there was regularly music around. you know? #my sister plays guitar and we used to just hang out sometimes and sing stuff #it scratches a little bit of a different itch than singing along to things (even though that comes close) #anyway! enough melancholy on main let's have a fun fact: #our pride and joy (my sister and mine) is a christmas carol mashup we created several years ago on a whim over the course of an afternoon #17 carols. several key changes. one point where i have to put the capo on her guitar between chords to make it work. #several song transitions are done for the joke #sections of it are slightly inaccessible to me now as i've lost part of my upper singing range due to not using it #bonkers time that we now revisit annually
