Very cool Dink. Thanks for sharing that. Would be an easy project. Jimmy I would need directions that are a whole lot more basic. I spent some time earlier this morning frustrating myself trying to figure out what to do. It may seem easy for most folks here, but to me, it's sheer prestidigitation. |

My gosh girl, those $5 words tear my ole 5 cent brain up...  ;D Had to look that one up...  I see and say the same thing at some of the music you talk about and play.... but alas no one wants to teach the basics to a 59'er...around here if your over 12 years old, no one wants to teach you music with any kind of insturment....   Bottom line, if no training in the subject, it may not come smoothly...   ;D Jimmy |

True enough! I have no idea what those instructions meant because my electrical training stops at changing light bulbs, using extension cords, and replacing (some) batteries. In high school physics, I had to emulate what some of the other kids were doing because I had no idea how the various pieces were supposed to go together (nor why). Asking questions at the time was a further exercise in frustration because a) I was slowing the class way down and b) I didn't understand the teacher's explanations to the first couple questions. With the pit widening with every question, I never managed to emerge from the abyss. My birth father was an electrical engineer but he was useless when it came to explaining stuff like what was in that website. All through school, I never had access to bits of wire, or the privilege of taking flashlights apart so I could use the bulbs or batteries for other purposes, so the chance to learn about the basics of stringing together simple components just didn't happen. The website named a bunch of parts; those names are meaningless to me. Recognizing the parts visually is a mystery since I've never seen such things named. As much as I want to learn this kind of thing, there just aren't enough hours in the day anymore, and I'd still need a teacher (or a VERY good book).
That's why, as a teacher, I am adamant that the kids at the lowest level are NOT ridiculed for asking questions, whether I'm teaching music or making a connection to some other area of study. Learning music means learning science, math, history, art, and various crafts (if one wishes to understand how instruments are made).
