365 DotU, Day 110 Is All About The Fiddlin’

Posted on June 8, 2012 by L. M. Bernhardt

It is at least all about finding new ways to capture fiddle sound. This is something I struggle with. It’s hard (for me, anyway) to capture a violin/fiddle sound that is both natural and actually pleasant. When I first started … Continue reading →

365 DotU, Day 97: The Return of the Ukulele

Posted on March 10, 2012 by L. M. Bernhardt

Confession time: I am becoming a bit of an instrument hoarder. I am particularly acquisitive w/r/t instruments with the word “tenor” in their names (tenor banjo, tenor guitar, and now…yep, I have one, a tenor ukulele). Yeah. Whatever. Don’t judge … Continue reading →

365 DotU, Day 93 Prefers One Agonizing Rip To A Series Of Slow, Painful Jerks

Posted on December 29, 2011 by L. M. Bernhardt

I am, essentially, the laziest gal in town. Here I am, ever-so-slowly making my way through the ol’ Challenge, and all I can come up with to learn to play is a bunch of 3-chorders that I’ve already learned in … Continue reading →

365 DotU, Day 92 Would Like To Know What’s Up

Posted on December 29, 2011 by L. M. Bernhardt

Here’s another one that my friend Karen suggested at jam a while back, and I can’t believe I never thought to do it myself before then: 4 Non Blondes’ What’s Up, a most excellently shouty endeavor well worth the covering. … Continue reading →

365 DotU, Day 90 is Re-Gifting A Song

Posted on December 26, 2011 by L. M. Bernhardt

I’m back, baby, and I’m calling a mulligan on an earlier entry in the series. Once upon a time, I posted my first humble attempt at something approximating finger-pickin’, a cover of a Lynn Miles tune called “Surrender Dorothy.” It … Continue reading →

365 DotU, Day 89: In Which I Celebrate Cheese

Posted on November 19, 2011 by L. M. Bernhardt

There’s just something about an earnest, cheesy, brilliant Bon Jovi song that kind of makes my day, especially the earlier stuff. Slippery When Wet (for example), as an album, is not great art. It wasn’t trying to be, of course. It’s … Continue reading →

365 DotU, Day 88: Makin’ Lemonade

Posted on November 10, 2011 by L. M. Bernhardt

To celebrate the occasion of my voice being utterly useless (bronchitis is not my friend), I decided it might be time to tackle an instrumental or three, what with having not kept up with the ol Challenge very well of … Continue reading →

365 DotU, Day 87: Imperialism!

Posted on October 27, 2011 by L. M. Bernhardt

It’s been a while, eh? Busy, busy, busy — that’s me! One of the highlights of this busy, busy time was a show that I played with Josh and some friends (Andy and Brooks and Scott) at The Gathering Place … Continue reading →

365 DotU, Day 86: Fandom and Musical Myopia

Posted on October 17, 2011 by L. M. Bernhardt

I admit it: there’s some weird bit of me that is deeply attached to my inner proto-hipster — you know, the part of yourself that only likes the obscure stuff, and doesn’t want to share when other people discover it. … Continue reading →

365 DotU, Day 84 Is Accidentally Seasonal And Suddenly Shy

Posted on September 24, 2011 by L. M. Bernhardt

We all have our preferences, musically speaking.  We all have our categories, our sets of kinds of things we like for different reasons. Sometimes these categories overlap, and sometimes they don’t. Sometimes we just want to listen to stupid stuff. … Continue reading →
