Someone suggested today that I get out some of my emotions by playing the piano. It was a great idea (hadn't occurred to me), and I knew a couple of pieces that I definitely wanted to play. But when I got home, my playing the piano wasn't an option because of folks watching TV and... the piano would have made that difficult and/or unpleasant for them.

So. I found a guitar. I'd never seen it before and thought it was a cheapie. Turns out it was a Martin, just a wee guitar. Not tiny, really, a fair amount larger than an ukulele, but... alright... searched on the Martin site a bit. It's a "Little Martin."

You know one thing about playing the piano? It doesn't hurt. Yeah, I don't notice constantly while I'm playing the guitar, but now and then, just "ouch." And, for me personally... I have some skill with the piano. There are plenty of things that I can play happily. The guitar? I've very little skill with it. And it's a pretty different experience. Most everything I play on the guitar, I'm singing along with. On the piano, there's nothing that I do that way. I'm mainly playing classical stuff or things that I can't manage to play and sing.

I enjoyed myself. That'll do.
