Just watcher her performing La Malagueña live on You Tube and she does have an interesting strumming technique that must be murder on her fingernails. Mind you, fingernails seem to be the required sacrifice for guitar playing. My lovely long nails, usually painted purple, have been reduced to . . . well, they’re now cut so short and then filed even closer that there are not even any white bits any more. Not worth painting. Still, (strikes a pose) – We must all suffer for our Art.
:-p
Books, books, books . . . Well into The Great Game and nearly choked laughing at the maniacal Miss Marple blasting away at the enemies with a giant Gatling gun while screaming “Take that for the Kaiser!”
What is there not to like?
Took delivery of another 3 Bryant and Mays yesterday, along with Crispin’s The Case of the Gilded Fly and The Moving Toyshop. I’ll have to go back for the second one next time, but I hit my Book Allowance buffer and especially wanted Toyshop. Holy Disorders was (temporarily) ‘bumped’ in favour of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
