Music: Singing with my family

I had a totally different post planned, but it doesn't seem to be going in the direction I wanted it to. It's probably going to take some serious editing, if I don't give it up entirely. Instead you get this.

I miss singing with my family. Since N and her kids moved down to Seattle it's been a lot harder to get together and sing; they were up here for the day (yesterday evening through tomorrow mid-day), and we've spent much of this evening working on songs. I have no idea when Lookingglass Folk's next concert is going to be, but it has the potential to be amazing. Just sayin'

We started with "Ripple", which is new for the group, sang "Bells of Norwich" because I needed it, and worked mostly on "Lord of the Buffalo" and "Ship of Stone", which we've been working up new vocal arrangements for. They're coming along.

For some reason I've been having problems with D chords on the guitar. Weird. My middle finger keeps being off by a string; it took me a while to track down exactly what I was doing wrong, and paying attention to it threw me off on the surrounding chords. Grump. Obviously I need to practice more.
