I don't think I'll be watching... there's not a single nice song in the bunch. And it's about 90% ballad, that's tedious. Oh, and that earbleed Polish
song who got through on cleavage - that's another Eurovision rumour disspelled.

that Polish gal is so pretty. Why would she feel the need to get big fake tits? I don't get it. I know americans probably started it but is that the
way the world is going, selling false fantasies just for money?

Never slam the car door on your index finger, it hurts an awful lot. Now I know it.

I did that by accident to my sister once. She didn't talk to me for hours.

Found a replacement copy for Dub Room Special at the flea market. Finding Zappa at a flea market is pretty rare, let alone something you're actually
looking for...

Discovered that tuning zithers is pretty much a nightmare.

haha, I'm not astonished, with all those strings. Tuning is always a pain, anyway, whatever you tune.

It's a lot worse with zithers and other instruments where you directly tune the peg.At least with guitar and bass (ok ok, there are also 5 strings on
my orchestral zither that have tuning pegs, but it has 30 that don't) you have an extra wormwheel to finetune. Even the slightest twist of the key can
cause your tone to jump more than a semitone.

I tuned my mini-zither as fully as I can get it now. Two of the strings broke, so I tuned all the strings above it a little lower to compensate. And
I'm looking for new strings for it.

I'll see if I can find a scheme... it's tuned in fifths and has a section of 5 strings with a fretboard that are tuned separately.
Tilt your head and zoom in! Or visit the page and download it!

Is what they sound like when you have the skill. You may notice he doesn't use the lower snares at all except for the lowest C# at the end.

Oh, and the mini-zither is 15 snares: I tuned in C major starting with the lower G. Alternatively you can tune them to G or F.
Cleaned mildew in shower.Lungs hurt.
