I think I'm learning how to play different stuff. One of the bands I'm in has a fiddle player who knows tons and tons of ethnic (mostly Irish) fiddle tunes, so we (and I) have been learning them. It's actually starting to make sense. I also discovered, in the course of preparing a Rap for these songs, that most of them actually have lyrics--often, very strange lyrics. And nobody sings them any more.

And hanging out with an ethnic Irish fiddle player definitely poisons your brain a little. I have written an Irish fiddle tune (mine has lyrics, of course), "Earwigs in the Eggplant," and the band will perform it next week at a concert.

So I guess I am learning a little.
