Don, if you're having trouble making a clean transition out of the repeated phrase, you might try this: Instead of ending the repeated phrase with the double G (5 key or 5-8 octave), substitute an 8-5 bounce. I find that the 8-5 bounce sequence can sometimes give a smoother flow than the wood-pecker ending, making the next button(s) easier to grab.
Ned, first thing I don't believe its a good idea to keep your wife in a Home Depot box. Possibly you have stepped outside the local guidelines in this regard. For me I find that constant repetitive refrain annoying. Thank you all those who have alternative versions. Nonetheless a noble effort as always.
Guy, my myopic friend, one must think outside the box. If I let her out would she be happy, or would she whip my arse? I fear the latter, thus she remains contained, listening to hours of music on her favorite instrument. What greater love?
