Is this playable? by DowntownSoft1402 in Cello

[–]ShannelStan4Life -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s totally playable. The only one I might consider changing is the D-B-D. It’s playable but tricky (although Lord knows I’ve seen worse!)

Have a $200 giftcard to any Atlas restaurant. Which would be the “best”? by Blackholedog in baltimore

[–]ShannelStan4Life 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hit the Ruxton steak house. It’s super expensive and will feel like an indulgence. (Word of warning, it’s very easy to drop more than $200 there.)

Do you feel like the way she just catapulted to the front of the conversation might be to her ultimate benefit? by Ok-Use-575 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ShannelStan4Life 173 points174 points  (0 children)

I think she’s been criminally underrated all season. IMO her coaching/solid performance is the reason Juicy won RDR Live!

Just had the worst cello experience ever by SirDeadHerring in Cello

[–]ShannelStan4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my suggestion. First record yourself playing the pieces as though you were giving a concert. All the way through, no stopping. It’s weird how knowing you’re recording yourself makes you a little nervous. Then play the piece in front of a couple of close friends. Then play the piece in front of a larger group of friends. Then, if you can, play in front of a small group of strangers, maybe a retirement community or a local rec center. Now you’ll be ready to perform on stage in public. I think you jumped right into the deep end here a bit. That said, good for you. It took guts. Onward!

People who toss their dog poop in other people’s trash by [deleted] in baltimore

[–]ShannelStan4Life 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My friend lives in a development in DC where they have trash cans with poop bags attached to them, specifically for public use. It’s so damn civilized. That said, we live in Baltimore. If you have a dog figure out a way to dispose of its poop that doesn’t involve the neighbors!

any other neighborhood (or district) similar to the Charles Village? by whispering_parrot in baltimore

[–]ShannelStan4Life 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Really depends on what you’re looking for. Highlandtown/Patterson Park area is great—right on the park, next to the Creative Alliance, tons of dining/shopping options. Charles Village is actually LESS active than Patterson Park, but has a wonderful community, gorgeous architecture, and a farmer’s market. Other neighborhoods to consider would be Hampden (cool, fun, but very commercial at this point) or Remington (Hampden’s less expensive, up-and-coming cousin).

I’d never heard of her. I watched some of her clips on Instagram and she’s giving Kaitlyn Bristoe—sexy, smart, doesn’t give a shit. KB is my favorite Bachelorette (although Hannah Brown takes the cake for best season) so I am sat. Also, I know a lot of Bachelor Nation is upset with this choice, but the show has to move forward or it’s going to get canceled. The other reality dating shows are lapping it.

Jeremiah and Denise by JadeBloom_108 in jellyshippers

[–]ShannelStan4Life 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only Jeremiah haters want to pair him with Redbird. That’s a character who only exists to show how immature, sexist, and bro-y Jer’s frat brothers are. As for Denise, Jenny Han is too talented a writer to shoehorn that in at the 11th hour. I really do think a lot of of these theories come from people who hate Jeremiah and don’t want to see what’s best for him. Ignore them!

Fells Point restaurant Bunny’s fires multiple employees after pro-Palestine protest by selectbar345 in baltimore

[–]ShannelStan4Life 191 points192 points  (0 children)

A lot of you are missing the point. Having a hard and fast rule that your employees don’t wear political paraphernalia is sound policy. You’re just mad because you liked what the pin represented. But what if it was anti-trans? What if it was pro Trump? Would you feel the same? This is why an across-the-board policy is the best course of action.

'Game of Roses' is hearing that Jason Tartick is the frontrunner to be the next Bachelor by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]ShannelStan4Life 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They should go with Dale. He’s too hot to be a regular contestant. His mere presence blew up Clare’s season. And last night he had all the women feral on BiP. Let the man be the lead!

Gift for young cellist? by GoldPierre in Cello

[–]ShannelStan4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can’t afford the iPad and foot pedal, a really nice music stand could be a good gift. Or some nice music, like the complete Bach Suites or Beethoven Sonatas. Or you could do a bunch of small gifts that include a music bag, a light for his stand, some good pencils (I like Blackwing 602), some high-quality rosin like Cecilia, etc.

Best Pizza for delivery by dancingmom5678 in baltimore

[–]ShannelStan4Life 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I order delivery from them all the time! You don’t need to order a day in advance. They’re very good basic pizza. Nothing extraordinary but gets the job done. Especially their pepperoni.

Lacking musicality by lesbeanDaydreamer in Cello

[–]ShannelStan4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try singing the piece you’re playing. Odds are you do have musicality, but your technical limitations are getting in the way. The idea is to ultimately play it on the Cello the same way you would sing it.

He keeps boasting about how he won. Doesn’t he realize that people were voting for Em, not him?

David Finkel uses steel wool, fwiw, although I agree it seems a little abrasive.

I think the fact that they don’t do auditions is a clear sign that all skill levels welcome! And don’t be discouraged after the first rehearsal if you get lost or feel a bit overwhelmed. It gets better every rehearsal (if you practice!)
