Oh, yes, it’s been a great weekend.  I spent Saturday morning in the dingy with a long telescoping pole and scrub brush cleaning the hull near the waterline after Mahdee’s winter of limited hull cleaning. Only the waterline really seems to gather much bio-film luckily.  Squeaky clean now.

If having that done and over wasn’t enough for the happy dance, David and I went out for a lovely little day sail.  Mildly sun burned, we feel squeaky clean, too.

Into spring and new things, I picked out some “new” sheet music/midi files for David’s clarinet playing–and we’ve had some great evenings of music. David is now learning Cold Play’s Every Tear Drop Is A Waterfall.  This is a song that my sister-in-law, Alina, does a great cover of.  You can see/hear her on YouTube here: Alina and Cold Play

David had been previously playing Yann Tiersen’s Comptine d’un Autre Ete l’apres which is a really lovely piece from the movie Amelie.  It also happens to be a song that the cat does love–she purrs and comes running to me when he plays it.  So, ever glad to have a happy cat, I went in search of other music by Yann Tiersen.  I found La Valse d’Amelie which is another great Yann Tiersen composition.  Also, I found a cover play by the very talented duo Pasdetrois. I hope to hear more from these two guys.   Here’s the cover
