    Congratulations @Katazumiri! Since I saw it the very first time, I always wanted to let you know that you’re so creative to use the image with your name (I’m originally from Japan 😊). I love it.

    @janaq1, so lovely with Crossing Hemispheres, beautifully played! Always loved that one by Matt! 🙂


    @nelsonlin2021
    , yes, that arrangement is brilliant and you played it so beautifully! I also love a waltz (to listen to, lol)!

    From what I understand, when sound cuts in and out like that, it can be a connection issue, as in a cord maybe isn’t connecting properly where it’s plugged in. But I’m maybe the worst person to talk to / help with such things as I am currently having my own sound struggles, but I’m working on them, lol.

    Awww, wow, I am so honored that you’d want to learn my version of Pathétique and that you’re working on it! I hope you get to finish it and share it (or even share an unfinished portion of it)!! I’ve never had anyone learn one of my arrangements before that I know of! Thank you for that and for your kind words about it – that really means so much! 🙂


    @dianna
    , your harmonics sounded so lovely! Like @Stephen said, they’re so clear and clean-sounding! I’m glad you’ll keep working on those! 🙂


    @katazumiri
    , congrats on the lesson win!! That will be so much fun, I’m so curious what you’ll work on! Ha, about your tune that’s used in Zumba classes – I have actually done that a couple of times, one time was actually at a bachelorette party, which was… fascinating. I survived. I’m not “in shape” or “fit for movement.” I really need to work on that. That actually makes me want to try Zumba-ing again, lol! And thank you for liking my arrangement, that really means a lot! I hope you enjoy your prize!! 🙂

    @the_bumble_bard thank you for your sweet comments and also from last month when Mysticrick won grand prize Uke. Yes I hope to play it when it arrives. We play in a group together and I told him about RC a few years ago. I was so jealous but he’s a great musician and teacher so he’ll share.☺️. Hope your life has less stress, you sure put a lot into playing and it shows. You are so nice to spend the time commenting on others 👏🤗

    @grannieannie
    thank you for your encouragement. Can’t beat baby snuggles… it’s been 8 yrs since we had a newbee 🥰

    Great entries RC! Louisa

    @leb397, you’re so welcome, friend! 🥰 That’s so magical that you and @mysticrick play in a group together and you’ll also get to play that uke!! I’ve never even seen a Kanile’a ukulele in real life, or held one, let alone played one, so I really hope you enjoy that special experience!! They do look and sound so beautiful, though, o’ course. 😊

    Hmmm, well, some days / weeks / months have less stress than others for sure. This week was pretty stressful for multiple reasons, and so the new anxiety symptoms were particularly bad some days with the heart palpitations and chest pain, but it’s just a matter of taking things one day at a time, breathing, and trying to always pray and stay connected to God – all of that, an ongoing challenge. Thank you so much, whenever I can, I want to put everything I have into the creative things I love to do. 😊 And thank you, I love to do that, to chat and leave comments with everyone here! 🥰


    @dianna
    , hahaha!!! The BumbKe Bard, I know it was just a typo, but that was pretty funny! “Bumbke” sounds like lesser-known Polish dessert. “MaMA, when will the bumbkes be done?!” (You have to imagine an accent for that to sound right.) 😂 I’m pretty sure I’m part Polish, so that makes this… okay? Anyway, thank you so, so much for that, I really appreciate that, truly! I love that particular song because it’s one I can really pour passionate expression into, especially on piano (I still can find that challenging on ukulele, but it’s the thing I love most about playing music, is using music for emotional, dynamic expression – if possible). Thank you, though, that really means a lot – because I put a lot into that one! 🥰
