Still sick...
Was awake half the night coughing again. I am soooo tired... so I was home again today. I watched a movie, and then sat with my little Godin La Patrie and worked on "Vincent" some more. I've picked through the verses and the second refrain, but the first refrain is a little different, and I still need to tackle that. But I can tell that I'm getting a lot more facility with every day. I'm finding different voicings that I like, trying to incorporate chord/melody. And on some of the melodic parts, I'm even able to do a little sliding into notes, and vibrato!
This is all very good for me because it's forcing me to analyze finger placement and think in melodic terms, and it encourages finger independence. And today was the best day of all so far working in this piece.
Well... I'm tired. Time for dinner... hope I can sleep tonight.
