Without anyone telling me, I think I've recorded little progress with regard to learning the recorder in a short period of time.

As a musical instrument that doesn't require amplification or speaker, I can easily practice the recorder without thinking about electricity. Also, since it isn't too loud like the Trumpet and Saxophone, I can practice it in doors without being bothered that my neighbours will be disturbed by its sound. However, I am careful to practice it at nights so that I don't disturb anyone. But, when there is no electricity and everyone's home generator goes on in the compound, I have no fear adding to the noise with the sound of my recorder... hahahaha

In a bid to take a higher step towards my practice of the recorder, I thought it necessary to do a wonderful combo with the guitar.

In my Cover of Cold Play by The Scientist which I posted yesterday as a musical entry for Hive Open Mic week 128, I played the recorder over the guitar just at the ending of the piece. But, this time around, I decided to play the melody of the whole song using the recorder.

I chose a cool and calm song which should bring out the beauty of the recorder and the song itself. The song is a Marian Song, a song about Mary (Mother of Jesus Christ), titled, "As I Kneel."

Well, as a form of clarification, we know that kneeling doesn't imply worship. Kneeling can be a form of respect... in fact, in the Yoruba Culture Kneeling or full Prostration always accompany Greeting an elder. It's an act of respect. Hence, in the same way, the "kneel", here, is also a sign of respect for the role she played in abiding by God's will, bringing forth & nurturing Jesus and staying with him till the end.

Before I forget, I'm still suffering from the Heartbreak my Ring Light caused me. It broke and now I just had to devise a creative means to manage for shooting my videos.... lol...

CAUTION ⚠️

DON'T LAUGH!!!!

Why did you laugh? (Im in tears... sobs)

Well, the part Connecting the tripod stand with the ring light broke. At this point I don't even know who to give for repairs. I wish it is repairable.

While I wait for ideas on how to repair the ring light, I just had to be creative. Since the ring light itself is the main part, I had to put it on top my bed and I looked around for things to support and wedge the ring light and the phone. So that when I place my phone, the ring light will still be in an upright position. So that's why you can see the pressing iron and 30,000MaH Power bank on it... hahaha

This cover is one I enjoyed the process and also gave a little of my best in the recording, editing and writing aspect of this post.

I hope you enjoy this piece.

The sweet sound of the flute relaxes. I don't see who could be bothered to give you this melody.

The combination you make with the guitar as accompaniment gives that magical and subtle touch to the melody. The flute in itself evokes that purity of the original, an instrument as old as many cultures that have evolved.

I'm sorry about your light ring. I hope you can repair it. Try to get some quick-drying glue that is strong enough so it won't fall off again.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece, I enjoyed it, and it brought me a lot of inner peace. Perfect for times of distress, keep going and keep the music going. 😎🎶🎵🎼

Your words have really "melted my heart."

In all honesty, reading through your comment, I felt as though I were a professional instrumentalist. Your words of commendation and "eulogy" are well appreciated.

But coming back to reality I remembered that I am just an ordinary novice still finding my place in the world of music 😅

I am really grateful for your comment...

Thank you for the wonderful idea, I'll search for a strong glue... But the problem is that the area affected will need a strong support for it to stand upright again.

Thanks for your lovely reply

Baba this entry is so lovely believe me. Shebi u see the difference now? If u won use recorder make sure say e no too far from the beginning of the entry if not e no go sweet me o 😂

@ksam When I saw the way you positioned your standless ring light, I tried as much as possible not to laugh but to no avail. It's a good thing that the light is still working sha. As for me, my ring light is standing well and the light is well fixed but it's not responding when electrocuted. Noooo not electrocuted 😂 electrified jare.🤣 Maybe @cesarsj5 may have a suggestion for me. 🙏

In short, you should check the whole circuit my friend @onos-f 😅, starting with the power supply cable, as this is where faults usually start, especially after a long period of use.

The sound of the recorder is so good and healing.
The guitar chords so much aligned with the recorder sound.
