That's what I love, too.  And if you try and fail, you just make a bad note.  I also paint with watercolors--one bad move and you might wreck the whole thing.  :)  

Oh, I've seen Linda B on video, too-- wow!  You indicate fingerpicking is something to which you aspire.  One thing I love most about making music is there is always something to learn, a new adventure to be had.  It's fun and challenging.

Thanks, Robin!  Yeah, I was drawn to the chord/melody style pretty much right off the bat--and I love Jessica's arrangements.  I want to up my fingerpicking game, too.  I played this with a pick, DAD.  Was watching a Linda Brockinton video the other day...wow, her fingers are magical.  Something more to aspire to!

Lisa, your play is lovely!  I'm so glad you posted this here-- it is great to hear the many different styles of play and how those styles reflect a tune's mood.  You chose a lovely arrangement with one by Jessica C!
