Blue Red and Grey, The Who

For our anniversary last year I tried to learn a song sentimental type song. I did not choose wisely, because the song was disproportionately difficult for a guy like me.  It’s nice enough, but the source material is played with a mandolin; and it’s sung incredibly high, and the tempo of the /original/ is wacky so that only feeds my lack of the beats.

Well, I recorded a little video and only showed it to Mariel because it was /rough/. This year I decided to try a little harder at recording it because I had already learned the basics of the song a year ago (and then hadn’t touch it again). So I’m going to try and record it every year and do it at least a little bit better even if it isn’t good enough for the wife – and that’s the metaphor for anniversaries.  🙂
