If I have time tomorrow I will devise a practice time poll and include dogs I have to say the the MINUTE my 2 kids, ages 2 and 5, are in bed the 3 dogs sense a vacuum and move in for the attention!

How to define practice time?

I say I never practice but I spend at least two hours a week playing for morris men to practice to. Then there are the times when I play to myself just for the fun. Is that practice? What about playing in sessions where you are picking up new tunes?

I think a poll would be more useful once we can work out all the different catagories of playing time that there are.

Then we can start on research time....

Hey Robin, wich Morris side do you play for?

I guess practice time is really not a good definition, it's what I currently call what I do because it doesn't seem quite up to calling it "playing" yet . . . . how about "how many hours a week are you squeezing a concertina so that it makes noise?"

If I have time tomorrow I will devise a practice time poll and include dogs

Yes, we all want to know how much time the dogs spend practicing concertina. (Or is that "music", generally?)

Yes, we all want to know how much time the dogs spend practicing concertina.

 

So, you mean all those dog, cat, and pig figurines playing concertina on ebay are representational, not whimsy?

Jim,

when saying Music making people, I thopught in most of us, who we are doing for hobby.

 

Mogana,

You would not have started the poll if youwere not serious abut it ?

 

Reading the jokes, it has not been quite clear for me.

 

Your study would szatisfy also my curiosity.

 

Have you collected already any replies to your concrete questions ?

 

Do you wiush me to send my replies as a personal message ?

 

Regards

Joachim
