I have been in the groove lately...get up, brush my teeth, walk the dog, vote for Miguel...
But I am looking forward to August 8 so that I can stop! LOL!
It is very much worth the effort though!

that's sweet, Stephen! Thank you!
I am in Bulgaria right now, learning this fantastic folklore, and an instrument called Gadulka! It's been a fascinating experience. I put a pic right now on Facebook.com/miguelfalcaobass
Just remembered, have to vote for myself today

Very cool! A folk fiddle with sympathetic strings.
After you master that I suggest the erhu which is of course the Chinese folk fiddle (without symp strings) that is also played in a vertical orientation like the Gadulka.

hi Stephen! Lessons have been great so far, today I just started learning a new song in 9/8', very challenging

I would love to learn more of the other instruments here but for now I better stick to this one to see if I get a consistent basis to practice later at home. Thanks again

Miguel,
Do I use the same link as before? (It looks like approximately the same voter count as before...)
Good luck!

Yes, Stephen. Same link, same button. On a section called "bracket" you can find who "fights" who in kind of NBA knockout system.
Thanks!
Miguel
