Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
[spoken]
Let's see if I can make it easy
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

Good morning, everyone! Today is the big day! Today I begin my music lessons and learn how to play guitar! Do do do, re re re, mi mi mi..... I'd better drink my tea tea tea. There is Ahmad's "English Breakfast" tea in my mug today, and it's going to be a long day... I've about 700 photos to go through that I shot this weekend of the Lantern Festival here. Fortunately we didn't see any trees or houses on fire this year as the air was cold enough for the
Khom Loy hot air balloons to rise quickly, although a few did get trapped in the trees for a few seconds before struggling upwards.
So into my cave to edit photos, then out into the living room to practice Eric Clapton's arrangement of
"Hey, Hey," then 30 minutes of scale practice and it's off to music lessons! Wow! I haven't been this busy in a looong time! Feels good!
