Thank you so much. This will start out bad but hang with me to the end. My
sister had the aneurysm Monday night and went into surgery that night. They
took her back into surgery in the morning for a 5-6 hour procedure and they
weren't sure if she would survive it. She was deliberately put into a coma at
that point and they brought her up from it at intervals to see what response
they would get from her. On Thursday, they tried removing her breathing
tube but she couldn't do it on her own. I figured she had no chance at that
point as it appeared that lower brain function was gone. Today, they tried
again and it worked. She couldn't talk but she was aware and responsive to
questions. Eight hours or so later, I got the next update that they had
adjusted her bed so she could sit up somewhat and that she was talking.
She's heavily drugged so she doesn't really understand what happened to her
but given that she was as close to death as you can get on Monday night and
that's she's talking today, there's every reason to be optimistic. It is simply
unbelievable how much life can change in such an incredibly short time.
Even though I was trying to talk to her, ultimately she was talking to me and
what I heard was, "Stop screwing around with this Sasquatch rubbish and play
your guitar." (Just so there's no chance of any misunderstanding at all: I'm
not fishing for anything about Sasquatch or the guitar either, for that matter.
I know more than ever from this what I need to be doing with my life.)
Tinkerbell lives!

You say it's a sketch. I say it sounds like a (middle/solo) part of a much longer piece, possibly with vocals.
You say there's a good reason for the mistakes. I say what mistakes? Seriously, though, mistakes are what it's all about. Everybody trying to be perfect has to fail miserably sooner or later, if they are human...
Mistakes make the world go 'round.
And it's probably a mistake writing all of this here, so I'll just
