I Face Planted - Big Time!

All you brilliant students out there should be able to relate to today's post and I can sum it up in one word.... Frustration!

What a day, 10 hours of solid hard work on one thing and I feel like I just got Tango'd by the Great Wall of China (anyone remember those old Tango adverts - the orignal ear bursting ones?). Well I just got a good dose of big orange tango man and it smarts (that means hurts for those who don't speak my lingo!).

6 months ago I would have been over the moon with what I produced today even if it is rubbish. But what's really got me beating myself mentally black and blue is that behind what I'm trying to do is a very simple concept that my brain simply fails to grasp. My head simply refuses to think in simple terms, can't do it so this is eluding me. For 18 months I've been progressing on the various instruments, with some good months and some not so good and yet this one thing that was a day one lesson I cannot grasp.

And now the real problems begin because I'm now a dog with a bone - a rabid dog with a bone. Once my back goes up I can't let go until I solve the problem so my house is going to be great fun over Christmas!!! So if anyone knows why I can't seem to wrap my silly little head (yep my head is literally little, I wear glasses made for 10-12 year olds!) around a simple song structure please let me know - asap!!!

I'm off to binge eat ice lollies before getting ready for round two.
