Woo! I'm rich!!!

Okay, not really, but after a summer of literally not having ANY money, a cheque for £509.10 is an extremely welcome thing. And it is quite an easy job, listing things on Ebay... boring at times, but the convenience & relative easiness makes up for that. Plus, I get to go shopping!! As a job! Now, in my opinion, you can't get much better than that LOL!

Ooh ooh, the Kate Rusby gig was AMAZING!! It definately lived up to my expectations... and has really inspired and motivated me to get on with things, especially as she never had 'proper' guitar lessons, and actually made up loads of the chords she used! Plus, she played violin when she was at primary school, but gave up 'cos she found the music she had to follow uninspiring and restrictive (sound familiar?! Hmm!) & didn't understand why there were such strict rules to playing, like the bow going up or down at certain times, & it was 'wrong' if you didn't follow it... Anyway, she's really lovely and really funny - and I bought her songbook! Yay!! Which incidentally, has a traditional song I love song called The Female Drummer, which I really wanted to be able to play, so now I have the chords n stuff for it! I didn't even know she had sung that song, so that was a stroke of luck! Tho now if I sing it it's gonna seem like it's cos she did... but I loved it before!! Meh, oh well! I really wanted the book signed, but she didn't appear for some reason after the gig... oh well, next time! All in all twas a very good evening, and I will def go to more of her gigs. Yesh!
