shy / 逢年佳節倍思親

近鄉情怯。

在去學校的車上聽到不認識的老先生老太太一搭一唱的濃濃鄉音,頓時感到莫名的親切與鼻酸。

下車前盤算著,是否應該至少上前說聲"新年快樂",但是又怕太過唐突會把老先生和老太太嚇壞了;於是戴上耳機,照著每天魚貫的行程,匆匆迅速的下車,往上課的地方奔馳去。

但心中還是有點小惋惜,"不知我要是跟他們聊了起來,那有多好!"

逢年佳節倍思親。這次的舊曆年又到了呢! 親愛的老爺貼心的寄來的自己設計的電子卡片,很是貼心!這兩天也要來設計一張回敬給他!

年前放送,最近新練的新曲"Sally Gardens (or Down by the Sally Garden)"是一首很美的愛爾蘭小調。裡面的歌詞是取自W. B. Yeats(葉慈)的一首詩,好玩的是Yeats自己說這首詩是採自於一首老歌裡的某三行("Yeats indicated in a note that it was "an attempt to reconstruct an old song from three lines imperfectly remembered by an old peasant woman in the village of Ballisodare, Sligo, who often sings them to herself." from Wikipedia),但就僅這三行造就成的旋律也還是挺動人的。



閒賦在家,讓我得以偷閒練習一番。

Pipe that pipper!

This Monday Kgo and I went to a local music store which is well known for its amazing collection on music sheets. It is located right in the first district.(more information below) While we're there, we picked up two tin whistles (or penny whistles) We got one in D and the other in C major. The way how to play it is very similar to playing a recorder, but tin whistle has fewer holes and the way how to play it is a bit different and one can change the pitch for it by adding more stress while playing it. Thanks to my elementary music teacher (and maybe junior high as well??), to pick up the notes for tin whistle isn't as hard as I've imagined, but to maintain a good sound and the right pitch and to play some more complicated music, I'm sure there are some practices required. I've been looking at two guys' channel on youtube for learning tin whistle and they are both very informative and helpful. And....following are the videos of me playing my first two songs! :) enjoy!
