Mark's Log of Learning

Thanks for your thoughts, Simon. My preconception of what a bass sounds like was probably something like Paul Robeson singing Swing Low Sweet Chariot. But I think he may have been basso profundo.

I just had another go and found I could hold a B1, but there’s no real volume or projection to it.

By the way, I read quite a bit of your LL earlier this week and was impressed with the quantity of detail you capture. I think, for those who are inclined to go into things in depth, this is a good resource.

EDIT: I later realised I was thinking, not so much of your LL, but of your very detailed notes here, for example: "Always Remember" - an original song by Simon Calverley (aka simon_plays_bass) - #5 by simon_plays_bass

I’m trying to make my own LL something that will provide an unequivocal picture of where I am up to. I like being able to refer back and see solid evidence of progress, otherwise I tend to dismiss it and feel like I’m not getting anywhere. I thought that as I grew older I would mellow and become less driven, but it doesn’t appear to have happened yet. :slightly_smiling_face:
