I have my guitar now (thanks to Geoff!) and I’ve been playing in the evenings since I’m alone most of the time. Let me first say that it takes a couple of days to adjust, but after that, I absolutely love having time/places to myself. I’ve been playing through some old Bach – some stuff I learned, some that I’m sightreading. Since I’ve been looking for summer projects, I’ve decided that I’ll learn a Bach suite this summer. Which particular suite that will occupy my time is yet to be determined. There’s the A minor BWV 997, which I used to listen to Barrueco play on cassette in my blue Astro van. Or I could finish up BWV 1006 in E major. Either way, it’s exciting to have my instrument here and the time to play it.
