    <div>So my first post. I am trying to get back into playing after a 35 year hiatus. Picked it up again a few years ago. Definitely need to practice more often and a nerve damaged left hand doesn’t help matters. Never recorded before so I’m still learning how to get it to sound better (though that has more to do with the performer than any technical issue). Some people here say to use Ear Buds – this one might be better with ear plugs but here goes nothin’:</div>

      Loraine thanks. I can’t believe how much a mic in front of your face can scare you so much. Nerve racking as heck.

      Thanks Marty. I did play (and though you’d never know it, sang) before. But 35-40 years ago is a bit of ‘out of practice’ time. All of you provide alot of encouragement so I figured it was time. I’m looking forward to figuring what to do for the second one.

    Very nice! Don’t be shy about letting us see you play. If you have seen some of the videos many of us have put on; they are not perfect, but people are encouraging and supportive. You have a nice voice; I don’t but still post on occasion; so looking forward to seeing you. Great job; especially for a first post.
