Guitar Strings and the Things We Do for Them

We have been rather busy the last few days! Doing things like this:

Just kidding, we’ve actually been pretty busy! We’ve both finished University for the year now and are just waiting for marks to roll in. Since we are in theatre, the idea of having free time is very strange to us, so we have been stuffing it with as many things as possible.

Sunday we decided it would be a good idea to go play frisbee in the park. Now this park is next to a steep drop off into the ocean. We thought about this, figured that we were good enough for this not to be a problem, and of course immediately watched our frisbee float over the drop off into the mud (the tide was out). As we rather liked the frisbee, it then seemed a great idea to climb down the drop off and retrieve it. So Audrey (in white pants) and Nick (with his pockets full of his phone, wallet and such) ventured into the, what we quickly found was, knee deep mud. But the frisbee was saved! So we went home and recorded a song instead.

Triumphant and muddy!

So here is our cover of In My Life by the Beatles.

 

Monday morning we woke up to find it was 20 degrees outside. I know! We were shocked too! We slipped in shorts and scamped down main street to do some busking. After breaking a guitar string we decided to cut it short and buy ingredients for dinner.

Mmm homemade falafels from busking money!

We ate up, and then headed down to Paddy’s pub to play open mic night. We had a really fun set which included American Boy (Estelle & Kanye West), Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Queen), No Diggety (Chet Faker), and Kill Your Heroes (Awolnation) and a borrowed guitar.

Today we went out to busk again (as it was once again beautiful!). This time with a borrowed guitar, in the hopes of raising enough funds to buy strings for Nick’s actual guitar. Of course, luck being luck, we quickly managed to break a string on the borrowed guitar as well. However, due to the incredible kindness of the Wolfville public, we made enough to purchase a plethora of guitar strings, so we shall be back in business soon!
