solarbirdSunday's busking gig at Lake Forest Park was unexpectedly well-rewarded, and somebody asked for a card. So that was good. Flute music did almost as well as mandolin music on a good day, which was refreshing. Then I came home to mini-jam with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
annathepiper and sutures1, and saw that Anna had bought banana creme pie, and I wanted to know what kind of Stooges she was expecting, because hitting a Stooge in the face is the only context in which I've ever seen use for banana creme.
I need to write more mandolin music that stays interesting when played a cappella.
Oh, and I haven't broken a string since Bellevue, but I did break another pick - another experimental one, a "Cool" brand thin pick. It split in the middle, without breaking out to the edges, at the base of the special grip section. So I guess those won't really work out, which is too bad, because I liked the grippy part. So far, for me, the Dunlop Tortex .5mm picks have had the best combination of flexibility and survival, tho' the Fender Thins aren't bad either - they're also durable, but I don't like the feel as much.
