And the beat goes on… forever, I hope!

Lately, I have been enchanted by the rhythm of life. I am not sure if it is because I spend so much time alone, that I am becoming more aware of everyday rhythms around me… waves, squirrels, birds, traffic, hoofbeats.

So I have been working with that. I took a Bodhran (Irish Drum) workshop, and have been playing the wooden spoons. And there is the Cajon that I am sitting on.. just added the foot pedal!

But my favorite of all has been making music with my feet!! It’s the Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class I have nee taking with the extremely talented Musician, Singer, and Dancer Carla Gover. You can track my progress HERE! I am on week 5.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

It’s a bit rainy and windy out here on the coast! But I love it! In addition to dance practice and my morning podcast, I have some serious knitting to catch up on — gotta get the brown sweater #2 done… so I don’t get behind on my 12 in 12 sweater goal! And I wanted to put up a page with all the sweaters ( as I make them) so I can track my progress!

And later today, there is the Berkely Old Time Music Jam — gotta get in on that one… I am bringing my guitar, and spoons…. and probably my dancing shoes to that! (And the beat goes on!)

Still pretty happy with this haircut — although I have to remind myself not to brush it back with my hands … all day long.

I have on an ancient JCrew t-shirt over my Rowena… and those are some of my wooden spoons. (Best instrument under $14!!)

I love this Iron Gray Rowena– it goes with just about everything… and actually looks blue in this photo — I am thinking.

That is my trusty little concert UKE with a pickup…. She’s been all over with me — to UKE camp in Santa Cruz mountains, and Lake Berryessa…

So nice when that is happening again!

Basic Merona plaid brushed cotton shirt… nothing to seak about … but I kinda love it with the long sleeve tshirt.

My cajon — the one I am sitting on — is so much fun to play. If you are not familiar with it… check out YouTube!

Thanks for joining me on my “beat goes on” post. Stay tuned for the next 56 days of #tracywearswool!

Be well, and make some music!
