I’ve been out there, in the trenches, working the craft, paying the dues, and taking the hits. Is this the lives and careers of most musicians? No fame. No real income. No notoriety.

I’ve been listening to Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli – truly wonderful playing on guitar and violin; here's a signature tune, “Minor Swing.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CDoJFmdFgA&list=RD9CDoJFmdFgA&start_radio=131 Jul 2026 16:16 +0000at://did:plc:2fujhyopbli6cbd7oct6urs2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrxe3awmtk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/drewvervan.bsky.social/post/3mrnij7nlos2mI am quite pleased to be the director of the Celtic Music Club.

Through many decades and through many genres, she was absolutely superb; no one has matched her versatility and output. https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebb3de282e5aadfb3a5277f9c815 Jul 2026 16:18 +0000at://did:plc:2fujhyopbli6cbd7oct6urs2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqp4py2q4c2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/drewvervan.bsky.social/post/3mqp3ymkyhs2zFingerstyle guitar - or finger picking - (a more folky version of classical guitar style) is a wonderful way to accompany songs.
