An awful lot of people suffered lung damage after contracting Covid-19, so in that respect I've been pretty lucky that my lungs are in decent shape after two bouts of it. Still, long Covid continues to take its toll, and today—entirely predictably—I discovered that playing the melodica is exhausting
It's going to take a fair while for me to get used to the breath control and level of exertion involved. Fun though. Muddled my way through the Wellerman shanty that everyone took a shine to during lockdown.
@BigJackBrass Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum...
@audreygwinter It's a nicely cheery thought, isn't it?
@BigJackBrass May I share a YouTube link to my favorite performance of the song?
@audreygwinter By all means do.
@audreygwinter I love that the first thing I see when clicking for more information is "Buy our limited edition Christmas jumper"!
Very good. Hadn't heard that version before.
@BigJackBrass Everything I've heard from them is excellent. Their rendition of "Misty Mountains" takes me to church, as the kids say.
