Labor day. A day off, as thou shalt not labor on Labor day. Or thou shalt stage a riot against the capitalists, but I didn't see any of those kicking off to join in on. So a day in it was.
I did a fair amount for a lazy day. I cleared off some shelving that's hard to get to and I don't want listed things on, and put 5 of these things called "nimbin racks" onto it, getting them out of the way as they were on the floor before and in the way. I moved a fair amount of other stuff around, and got rid of some things, and took an old electrophoresis power supply apart - we can't give those things away especially the older ones - so I had some neat parts to list.
After all this moving and taking things apart and digging around, I had 15 things to list, and listed them.
I've finally gotten it through my thick head that the glass flute I have coming uses the same 6-hole system as the "penny whistle" so anything written for penny whistle will be easily playable on the glass flute. This is good because there are actually a lot of penny whistle players out there and a ton of stuff's been worked out. There should be a ton of music for free online for the 6-hole system.
I mean, I just jumped on Google and looked for "simple pennywhistle songs" and found a ton. Some of them, like Old MacDonald, I can live without, but there are good ones like Amazing Grace, Silent Night, even some Simon & Garfunkel if that can be believed.
So I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the flute, which should be Wednesday night when Ken comes over.
