Bingo. Think of all the things that kept us alive or entertained prior to constant TV, social media,, streaming games, and freerepublic.... Sewing. Knitting. Baking. Cooking. Gardening. Backyard chickens. All needed to just survive. And when the chores were done people played music at home or the pub. I remember growing up and when we visited my grandparents everyone had an instrument or sang around the piano with the fire going. Now.... “What’s on Netflix.”
I do however, have several young students learning music along with my several retired seasoned citizen students who are picking up an instrument again. (Mostly Irish Session type music).
Mr mm and I were out in the woods today harvesting some trees for firewood to heat with.
Nothing like getting out in nature and getting some good exercise to wear you out. And we save money by not having to buy it.
Another of the lost arts is harmony singing by ear. I learned it as a small child in a church kiddie choir and now that I'm old, I'm one of the few in church who sings harmony with the hymns.
