Kalimbas are AWESOME

I Discovered Kalimbas!

I am super excited because I used to play the guitar (years ago) and I haven't been able to play for a long time because of injuries and a wonky finger. So earlier this week I googled "musical instruments that don't require index fingers" lol, and a Kalimba was recommended.

I had no idea a Kalimba was, so I googled it, and instantly fell in love.  I also fell down the Youtube rabbit hole and spent way too much time watching everyone playing Kalimba.

Then I checked on Amazon and was shocked by how affordable they are.  So I bought one. And then another one. And then one for my best friend lol.

My clear acrylic Cat Kalimba arrived first, on Wednesday night. I was super excited and couldn't wait to play.  But then on Thursday my uncle Carlo passed away unexpectedly.  I spent the day with relatives.  

On Friday I finally pulled out my Kalimba, and my best friend's Kalimba arrived, so we both started at the same time (she LOVES hers too). 

Anyway, I decided to record my Kalimba journey.  Here is the first song I learned; Kumbaya, my Lord. 

I also learned how to do a greenscreen video, except I do not own a green screen and used a turquoise towel, so it's not perfect.  Neither is my playing, but I LOVE it!
