Tab Patterns

So if I see a tab pattern like this:

4 -4 555 -6 7 6 -66

Does that mean I blow 5 three times in a row or blow and hold 5 for three beats? Thanks!

Is crossed harp and second position the same thing?

I came across this image (thanks to this fine sub!), and while I know little about music, I think crossed harp is another way of saying second position. Am I correct or way off base? Thanks!

Accompaniment Key

Ok, I barely know what I’m talking about, but here goes. I know that second position on a scale is a good accompaniment to say a guitar. I’m not sure why that’s true, but I’ll accept it. My question is “How do I know what key the guitar is in?” Do I just ask or can I tell based on the guitar? Thanks!

Why so many racquets?

Why do people have so many racquets? I see posts where people have 10 or more racquets. Do you have them strung differently for some perceived advantage? Do you not have donation programs?

Park Maintenance

What’s up with non-existent park maintenance? Is it no longer in the budget? Parks have been looking shabby the past couple of years.

Hohner Special 20 5 Pack For My Birthday

Good afternoon!

I’ve played harmonica on and off for a long time. Not great, but had fun playing by myself and doing some easy accompaniment. I recently played at a family reunion and really enjoyed it, so I’m thinking of getting a little more into it. I’m seeing 5 packs of Special 20s for less than $200. My birthday is coming up and I deserve something nice, darn it! Does this 5 pack deal make sense to get back to playing harmonica? Thanks!

Paved Bicycle Trails

Good afternoon! Looking for recs for Gatlinburg TN. I know of the Cades Trail and will ride that Saturday morning when it’s closed to cars. Other paved trails within an easy drive? ~15 miles out and back would be super. Thanks!

Good morning! Back to cruising a bit and back to Princess. Have a 15 day cruise out of Southampton booked and looking at air from the US. Does Princess include transfers from London airports to Southampton as part of the EZAir fare? Thanks!

Messed Up Visa App

Going through the visa process. A little cumbersome, but easy enough. Got to payment, and I clicked United States, but it didn’t register and Vietnam was selected. Of course my credit card was declined. I want to correct the error, but the process says I need to create a new profile. I can’t do that with my existing email address. Any suggestions? I’ve emailed support - is that effective? Thanks!

Streak May Be Broken - Wah!

I got a watch for Christmas and shortly after started exercising. I have a 169 day streak of closing all rings. I have a medical procedure coming up that may make me out of commission for one or more days. What to do? Lose the streak and start over? Lower goals and do what I can until I recover? Looking for advice - thanks!

Recording Walk on a Moving Cruise Ship

So I’m currently on a cruise and want to walk on deck. I’m obviously going in a circle while the ship is moving ahead. I’m using Outdoor Walk Am getting crazy mile times, the watch wants to quit the workout, it goes into backtrack(?) mode. What’s a good exercise choice for this? Thanks!

Home is currently unavailable

Ugh. Rebooted FS multiple times. Rebooted router (but not fiber modem…hmmm). Can select apps and they work. Is this a DNS thing? I’m going to be away for a few days and thinking of turning everything off. Does this make sense? What’s the turn-on order. Thanks!

Yikes! Magic bands aren’t!

I asked some time ago about magic bands. It seemed about a 50/50 split in value. As a result of my first day at Disney, I can come down firmly on the side of little value. They did get us into Typhoon Lagoon, so that’s nice. None of us (4 people) could buy anything with them. Get to Wilderness Lodge and they won’t open the room door. Had to go to the front desk and have each one individually fixed. They couldn’t be used to buy anything at the Lodge. So, they got us into the park, and after a fair amount of hassle they got us into the rooms. The value proposition wasn’t met. I’m thinking of taking this crew on a Disney cruise next year. I wonder if these semi-expensive souvenirs will be useful then.

Raffles Afternoon Tea Dress Code

Good evening! I’m thinking of taking afternoon tea at Raffles. Besides the tea and refreshments, the history and the culture intrigue me. I will be traveling for a long while in Asia, and will only have a collared shirt and a pair of trousers. My partner will have a sundress. Is this enough for tea? I’m concerned about shoes. I don’t really want to lug around a pair of shoes for 6 weeks that I’ll wear once. Does it make sense to buy a pair of cheap shoes in SG (or KL) and then donate them?

No Tickets on Shuttle Tebrau - Alternatives?

Good day! I’m traveling from KL to Singapore on 25 October. Booked my ETS ticket from KL Sentral to JB Sentral with no problems. Then I discovered that there are no tickets on Shuttle Tebrau! What to do? Take the bus? Is hiring a car an option? Help! Thanks!

Lil Reunion Restaurant

So some Navy buddies (45+ years ago) are getting together for a little reunion. I want to spring for a dinner on Monday, August 10. It would be super if there was some entertainment. Food choices are pretty open. Lots of guys will want beer. Should be 8 old sailors and probably the same number of partners. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
