Happy Birthday Aaron Copland

 Happy Birthday Aaron Copland, born this day 1900.

I only know his Fanfare for the Common Man but he has written a lot of well known stuff including film music.

New Ground

 Working on a piece in The Guitarist's Way book 4 called New Ground. I've played it before but I've been away from the guitar since the summer, certainly not played anything from the books for a while. 

Happy Birthday Sax

 Happy Birthday Adolphe Sax, born this day 1814. He not only gave us the saxophone but developed numerous brass instruments known as Saxhorns as well as the bass clarinet.

Guitar practise

 I've been away from any musical instrument for a while after I got the Myeloma diagnosis. It got worse recently when I lost hearing in my left ear in August. Hoping that gets sorted after my SCT  treatment in November/December. 

But I decided to pick up the classical guitar again, resuming with my studies in The Guitarist's Way book 4.

And I came up with my own piece of melodic PIMA practise.
