Day off

I just put composite strings on my spruce top for the first time, and am a bit disappointed. The bass strings sound really thin. I've been told, however, they (unlike nylons) take up to 6 hours of playing to sound full. So hopefully they'll get better.

Also, I was at Foyle's yesterday and picked up a piece based on its title alone. It's called The Oceans of The Moon, by Carey Blyton (famous for writing Bananas in Pajamas), and is eight variations and a theme for guitar. And is a cool and fun little piece, even if it is on the "light music" side of things, whatever that means.
