Speaking of baked goods, I nursed a sourdough starter back to health. I found it in the back of the fridge where I'd neglected it for a couple of years. Poured off the icky gray liquid and scraped off the ugly top layers, and carefully got a pinch of relatively clean but inert looking dry starter crumbles from the bottom. I put that in a fresh jar and have been feeding it, and after a few days it came right back to life and is smelling great! Now to make some bread or pancakes with it.

My other project is harmonica karaoke. I'm not a blues player, I'm more into classic rock and country. Since I'm not that good at improvising, I like to take a song and work on it over and over again to work out a nice part and get the nuances just right.

One is Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, where I play the vocal lead with some jazzy stuff mixed in. I live a few blocks from Menlo-Atherton High School, where Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham met, so it's always fun to play one of her songs. (Harp: Lee Oskar F Major retuned as a high octave C Melody Maker.)

Another is Wagon Wheel, where I worked out the fiddle and organ parts plus some piccolo parts that I made up. (Harp: Lee Oskar A Natural Minor.)

My new lockdown song has been Atomic by Blondie. This one has been super fun! It took a lot of experimenting and trying stuff out, but I came up with an arrangement I'm pretty happy with. Now to beta test at our next Alteryx Got Talent virtual show! (Harp: Lee Oskar E Natural Minor.)

Maybe when we can all do it again, I will get to play some of these songs with other musicians.
