Due to Daily Practice I am now able to Play; Well Enough That I, at Least, can Identify the Melody, from the sound of some old bovine attempting to pull its leg out of a mud hole.


Well it’s been a while; with daily practice I am now able to play; slowly; nowhere near the 90 BPM I eventually hope for; but well enough that I, at least, can identify the melody from the sound of some old bovine attempting to pull its leg out of a mud hole. I still find the 4th and 5th measures very difficult and it is not just because of diminished lung capacity; I’m just not any super talent musician. Main things; learning is a challenge, demands commitment, self-discipline, I enjoy the accomplishment of learning…it give me at least, a sense of LIVING-being. Of course, W. C. Hady wrote St Louis Blues for cornet; this is my harmonica version.
