Something revisted

It's kinda nice when you revisit a song you haven't played for a while and then get right into it. It tells me that I still enjoy my "back catalogue", even if I haven't played a piece for many months if not years, that I can still get passionate about a song I was once passionate about. Such happened with the well-covered yet quite beautiful "Something" by George Harrison/The Beatles as transcribed/rearranged from Naudo. I found myself adding a bit more McCartney bass to it and dusting off the expression. So much so that I just recorded the first verse of it on my Zoom H1N. Here, have a listen:

See how it has changed from 2010:

Another broken nail

Cracked my right thumbnail a few weeks back. Argh. I use my left hand a lot for a right hander, to avoid breaking nails, but from time to time you break one.  This time was right on the part I pluck from, top of the nail to below the skin line. Around a 5-6 week grow out I reckoned.  Too long!  I'm not ready to go fingernail free just now!

So out came the trusty super glue. Yeah, standard, cheap, super glue. If you haven't mangled the nail, if it is just torn, put some super glue in the tear, apply a little bit of pressure and it will join straight back on, tough as! Put a little extra on the join like nail polish, let it dry out. The surface-to-surface contact joints will dry in seconds, but air drying superglue on a surface will take fifteen to thirty minutes.  Kick back, don't fiddle with it, be patient.

If you don't put too much stress on it, it will stay joined until it has grown out.  Lasted a week easy, then tore again. Applied more superglue.  Lasted another week, tore again.  More superglue. Lasted a further week, decided to give up at that point and cut it back to the start of the tear - which was 3 weeks growth, so not terrible.

When you don't want to cut off a nail at the base because you tore it - super glue is your friend!
