@Calin Lupa That was great, Calin! I have never heard of the piece or the composer, so I can't be help there.

@Dale Needles Thanks, Dale. Unlike you, I never met the composer upon whom I focus. I wish I could have met him (and heard him play).

@Matt Hall My posts had tons of typos until I learned you can edit them after posting them. If only I could do that with my playing!

@Rick ruhl Whenever my wife asks me, “What would you like to do for Father’s Day?” I always want to say, “Play guitar all day with nobody else in the house.” But that might not go over too well.

@Blaise Laflamme Wow, I wish I could be so well organized with my practice routine. In my job, I am ridiculously well organized, but when it comes to the guitar, I am so all over the place. 😜

@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise, you are an inspiration as well! I got into TB for the huge library of lessons, but it’s the community and people like you that keep me going on the musical journey.

@Wai Thanks, Wai. I think the vast majority of Renaissance and Baroque pieces could fall into the category of song and dance. Let's hear what you are working on.
