Serenading the mosquitos

2006-05-26 by kkissinger@kevinkissinger.com

As of late I have been rehearsing for an outdoor gig and turns out my back patio
has turned out to be a great place to practice -- I can play loud enough to
enjoy playing however the area is isolated enough that the sound doesn't bother
the neighbors (though I wouldn't attempt a practice session outside of normal
waking hours).

The pitch arm is an unattractive destination for flying insects. The volume arm
is perfect -- a nice horizontal landing area and not too much movement.  To
concentrate on sustaining correct pitch while feeling a skeeter taking a
leasurely snack from one's volume arm is certainly a challenge to one's focus!

Thus, to the required equipment list I have added: bug repellent.

Don't leave home without it.
