On Saturday Keem and I went to a BBQ at his sister's house. The drive is about an hour (considering traffic and random Slush Puppie stops). This particular day I was in the mood to perfect my sea chanteys. I started with my Eb tin whistle and played a little ditty called "Drunken Sailor" and "Cockles and Mussels."
Not one to complain, Keem sang along. I changed things up a bit and played the soft melodramatic "Scarborough Fair" on my key of C. I'm really thankful that Keem's patience has allowed me to play and perfect my songs. (Other family members have been known to take away my tin whistle mid trill. But I guess it's my fault for leaving sea chanteys on family members' voicemails)
I did get a few quizzical stares from drivers on I-10, but that comes with the territory, I guess.
**Side note: I don't know why, but I was banished from playing "Danny Boy" in the car. Someone seriously ask Keem why he can't stand this beautiful song.
