Re: READ and FAQ - Monsters of Nylon Challenge!
@Blaise Laflamme I am thinking of Flight of the Bumblebee (blindfolded with both hands tied behind my back) or an arrangement of the Rite of Spring played only on the sixth string.

@don Sounds great, Don! I especially like the B section. I do agree with Barney about the repeat of the A section feeling rushed.

HVL Prelude 2 (Aug 25) I feel like I have hit an absolute brick wall with this piece. This is likely my last submission of it for this challenge.
