in_tune_with_myself Borealis in harmony a sort of..intrinsic awareness of where the rest of me is at any given moment. know thyself. I suppose. 040601 ... notme i slammed my finger in the door 040602 ... notme or maybe i slammed the door on my finger 040602 ... newme way hey hey i'm tuning my fiddle wish me luck luck i can't afford to break a string 040715 ... newme it always makes me so nervous i'm sitting here looking at the A peg its stiff and i'm scared to turn it just do it! just do it! i say to myself but then i think nah! i'll just get him to do it for me because he said "anytime" last time and i'd rather not risk it because if it breaks right now i'll have to wait and wait to change it and i know a fiddle should always have all four strings to keep it happy to keep me happy i know i must grow up already and not be afraid of breaking things but i don't have the moola right now to afford a broken string 040715 ... newme so i cheated got scared backed out of the plan used the fine tuner instead, again which is fine except its getting down to not much room left to turn this one i have no problems at all with fine tuners i love my fine tuners i use them all the time just wish i would get over this i never used to be this way it's this fiddle you see newish strings and the pegs can be sticky especially in warm weather which is of course good and not so good because she can pretty much stay in tune for months and months it's unhealthy not to turn the pegs, the holes can become funny i love these strings this fiddle so much i hope i get another one soon so i have a backup fiddle in case one or the other goes down i'll have another still to play and then i'll tune and tune them both ridding myself of my bad tuning habits or at least that is the plan 040715 what's it to you? who go blather from
