“No, I can no longer play the guitar with my cold hands. The fingers are too stiff and the strings cut into the fingertips. Despite the callus. ”
The bearded musician shakes his head, bends down and strokes his dog, a friendly promenade mixture that, I learn, he got from his postman.
Spende statt Gage – in den eisigen Corona-Zeiten brauchen Musiker mehr Unterstützung “Nein, mit den kalten Händen kann ich nicht länger Gitarre spielen. Die Finger sind zu steif und die Saiten schneiden in die Fingerkuppen. Trotz Hornhaut.”
Der bärtige Musiker schüttelt den Kopf, bückt sich und streichelt seinen Hund, eine freundliche Promenadenmischung, die er, so erfahre ich, von seiner Briefträgerin vermittelt bekommen hat.

Ned Hamson's Second Line View of the News 
Ned, thank you for ! I really like to use the pencil to capture scenes from everyday life. I noticed the man with the guitar and his dog because nobody was listening to his music. He showed me his concert guitar and was happy to explain where he had bought it. I’m looking forward to a reasonably sociable and cultural life again, when we can enjoy at least some of the things that are currently “on hold”.
Greetings from the beautiful Rhine-Highlands / Germany…
Rosie

good story. Knew an artist yers ago who worked similarly but with water paints – she had to work fast – smile – when we were in the desert.
