RE: [Harp-L] Playing & Driving (not rollin & tumblin'!)

[Buck Worley <boogalloo@xxxxxxx>]

I used to get some of my best practice time in while driving. In Louisiana the roads are flat and relitively straight. I got to where I could totally drive with my knees in the old F100.
 
Now that I am older and hopefully wiser, I let my wife do the drivin' while I do the 'honkin'.

If ever there was a common activity that, in every practical and moral way, demands full and unalloyed attention, it is driving a car. Stick a CD on and wait 'til you get home before you practise.
