Lens-Artist Challenge: Music
Posted on October 7, 2026
This week’s challenge is to portray ‘music’. As Ritva says in her post, there are so many aspects that could fill that brief, but I’ve gone with something stripped back, as it were.
Both of our grandsons are, I would venture to say, accomplished musicians. One majors on the guitar (the other, drums and piano) and has left an acoustic and an electric instrument here with us for when he comes to visit. This is a detail from the ever so slightly battered acoustic – complete, if that’s the right word – with a broken string (High E, the wonderweb informs me).
The Grateful Dead decal was a gift from me. Now that’s what I call music….

Cee’s theme for this week’s Black & White Challenge is anything to do with music.
My grandson is, though I say so myself, a very talented guitarist and this image is a detail of his electric guitar – or, more accurately, one of his electric guitars.

‘Musical’ is the theme for Week 45 of the Smartphone Challenge, so here is a detail from the electric keyboard that our grandsons use when they are staying with us:
As it happens, the theme for Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week is ‘Music’, so this post will apply for that too.
Who says men can’t multi-task?

My grandson picks out a tune (kind of…) on the new toy keyboard that he’s just got for Christmas.

For Frank’s theme of ‘Music’ this week, here is a detail of the mightily impressive pipe-organ in the main church of the French city of Thiers:

This week’s Photo Challenge wants to know “Where do you go when you need to think? What do you do when you need to restore yourself, to ready yourself to take on the coming week with energy and verve? How do you get your sense of humor back? How do you recharge your groove?”
That’s an easy one for me. I just put in my noise-cancelling earphones and choose something from here. Or maybe from the 900 or so concert downloads that I’ve accumulated over the almost twenty five years since the bus came by and I got on.
