There are different levels of arrangements of everything from classic to popular. I'm sure you already know you can find whatever you want Oasis, let me know if you can't. I like finding arrangements of popular songs I like as well. Elton is good for many piano songs.

Beethoven always starts off really well. About mid point through most of his works I think it falls flat and by the end of the piece its dead. I think he wrote his music based off of his dreams and that's why they seem to have great starts and then lose momentum from there. Just my own .02....

Thanks Sarge, Spock, Red! I practice for about half an hour every day, more than that and I can't concentrate well.

Been banging on that old 12 string I drug all over s.e. asia. Ha! Had been having trouble keeping it in tune and there's an outstanding music store downtown, with a magician as repairman. He comments..."the shape this thing is in and what it's been through (he's a Nam Vet as well) it's has excellent tone and neck. You just had the wrong strings on it".

I just finished restoring it's case today and the old girl will just keep on rockin'.

O, want to add...spend a little time letting the music take you where it wants to go. It can be the birth of creation.

Thanks Sarge, Spock, Red! I practice for about half an hour every day, more than that and I can't concentrate well.

I go to the piano sometimes just because I'm too stressed to distract myself. When I do that I always go to something I know well so I can just play. I do it on and off 10 mins here, wo mins there, never much longer unless it is practicing a new song. Than I agree, 30 mins might be max unless you get into a zone...

Here is my cave!

Wonderfully talented people we are!

All we had to do is peal back the PTSD and Voila!

Do a bit of warship modeling myself. I say a bit because It's something I retreat too when I just need to become stealth. Kinda not wanting to finish the project in case I can't get started again. Not sue if I can post any pictures but if I can I will for sure.

Lets see, It worked - now lets see if it will post

Is there anything a redneck won't do? I always hated it when they said, "here, hold my beer and watch this!".

The main figures from sets, that you can pose in various positions.

The bases and Pedestals are all own designs.
