I'm also continuing my baby steps towards becoming familiar with the Chapman Stick, an amazingly cool instrument I acquired about a year and a half ago. I've no idea where that will fit in, but it's fun to mess around with.

The Once and Future Performing Musician
About a month ago, I made the decision to attempt to regain my playing skills on acoustic and electric bass. I last attempted this over an approximately two-month period in early '09, having not played at all since June of '07. It was painful then, and more painful now, but after a month I am approaching the point where I can play for an hour without significant discomfort. The pads and callouses were almost totally gone, and if I'm to really make a go of it, I need to avoid injury, so it's slow going. What's interesting so far, though, is what material I'm drawn to on each instrument. With no immediate performance goals ahead, I can be open to whatever my fingers tell me to work on.
