I still like the idea

 I don't have many things to ship out so I decided to stay in today. 

I practiced last night but not enough as I was really tired and hit the sack. At least I got something close to 8 hours' sleep. 

I still like the idea of the glass flute, which is good as my order's in and it's on its way. Along with two books. I called Ken's wife and told her a package is coming to the house for me, and caught up on things. 

I'll have the flute next week and I'll also have avoided going to West Valley Music which, although the new store is much bigger, I find kind of depressing. The old store on Castro Street was a gas because there were always parents and kids in there and the 2-3 employees in there were kids themselves, barely out of their teens. It was a bubbly, happy place.

I did some looking around on YouTube and all the Hall glass flutes sound good. That roughly lines up with my remembering, that day in the Lark In The Morning store almost 20 years ago now, the one I tried being easy to get a note on and having a clear (lol) sound. 

Yeah I want to get out busking with the thing. I should be able to get up to some simple repertoire fairly quickly and I'm counting on getting points for "Is that a glass flute?!?!?!?" I know for a fact I got points for playing trumpet because it's shiny and not a guitar and trumpet is "hard". 

It might be thinking too much but I could probably make a career out of just playing Hall flutes. They come in a ton of keys and I can probably even play the large D flute if I get one with offset holes. They *can* be played chromatically and if I want to get good I'll want to practice going up and down the chromatic scale until I've got it down pat.
