So lots of basic note transitions today working on keeping the transitions clean. Nice slow repeated practice. I’ve also got Jim McGillivray‘s Rhythmic Fingerworks book open which has lots of great exercises.

I may also need to rehemp my practice chanter. The top is a bit looser than I like.

That also means that I have also not been practicing keeping the drones going on the bagpipes.

I do know that my interest hasn’t waned. I still check into the Bob Dunsire Bagpipe Forums daily. My energy level, however, just hasn’t been there. I come home utterly exhausted. There have even been times where I don’t want to turn the TV on because I just do not have the strength and energy. Dialysis and work really take it out on me.

But, tomorrow, I intend to fix this! I will practice on the PC for a little bit and I’ll pick up the GHBs and work on keeping a single drone nice and steady. I need to get back into the habit of doing this daily so that it truly DOES become a habit again.

In the words of a great little poster we have hanging by the door.

I want YOU to Practice Every Day!
