Went antiquing yesterday and found three guitars, two autoharps, and a dulcimer. The dulcimer looked like something I could handle but it only had three strings out of five. One of the autoharps looked really promising but it was $95. Of the three guitars, the cheapest really didn\u2019t have a great sound and when something\u2019s marked \u201cas is\u201d and I don\u2019t know what\u2019s wrong with it, I\u2019ll back off. Strummed a bit, but had to face facts that I really don\u2019t know how to play a guitar and would likely be more disappointed with the plinking and strumming I\u2019d be capable of doing in comparison to the original professional piece than with my harmonica-playing.<\/p>\n<p>What new media does teach is that it is rare for one artist to be able to handle all three elements&#8211;words, images, and audio&#8211;well. New media, to be at its best, is unfortunately, a team effort. With my poem <em>Recycling<\/em> it was difficult to do the voiceover since my voice sounds like a munchkin when recorded. With the visuals, I ended up drawing each image that I couldn\u2019t photograph (i.e., the earth, Mars, Poe, and Jesus Christ) and none is at its best.<\/p>\n<p>And so my harmonica playing, well, it leaves much to be desired and am depending heavily on sound effects (like echo, which is how I \u201cmasked\u201d my <em>Recycling<\/em> voice).<\/p>\n<p>Tough to keep things original and strive for non-hokey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"drop\">S<\/span>till searching for a better instrument than the harmonica.
