Music notation has changed over the years

To wit - Louis Couperin wrote this prelude for harpsichord and I wouldn't know where to begin with it:

We had a nice sunset this evening:

That's it - the weather has been warm, it hasn't rained in couple of days and I was able to finish a maple bowl today:

Edit. Here are two bowls I turned out of some ColorWood I bought a long time ago. I turned these back in 2012 and they sold, eventually.

Don't really have a story, just some pictures

It snowed here today. First snow this winter. It could have been spread out over a couple of storms and that would have suited me just fine, but you get what you get:

My catalpa tree got snowed on:

My dog got snowed on:

I dug a path out to my shop, eventually:

Once there I worked on a red maple table top that I milled flat yesterday:

That slab is 28.5mm x 60cm x 99cm. I sawed that out of tree that grew in a county south of here, probably 15 years ago or more. Time to use it up.

Sure, I have posted this before, but it never gets old...

海の豊饒 (WKRLEM NO-San)

Bach on hand bells led to my friend Mamady Keita, which led to AADE and Baba Chuck Davis, which led to some awesome marimba playing and this happened. I better stop.

I have a rawhide former drum head sitting nearby - I used to build drums like those in that video, but I couldn't sell them, so I stopped making them. But hearing them played reminds me why I used to do such things.

Mamady:

I called him "Mon petit frere" as he is a month younger than I am.

I used to make djembes, but once again, I just barely managed to sell what I made. I started with a neighbor's maple log pictured below on the lower right:

Then I turned a djembe with its shape based on the thrust nozzle of a Saturn V rocket:

It is loud, but not Saturn V loud.

Today I finished a red cedar (Juniperus Virginiana) robox:

But wait, there is more:

I couldn't find a video of my friend playing balafon but this guy does pretty darned well.
