Here's a kind of crappy GarageBand-ed song I've been playing on my bowed psaltery. Note: Please go easy on me. I used the microphone that was on my headset to record the psaltery and then blended/edited the tracks. So yeah, not professional, but fun! Constructive criticism welcome!

I bought new magnesium supplement again. I took some today for stress and slept for like an additional 2 hrs onto my 9 or 10 from last night. I think I'm still sleep deprived from some days ago.
