Today I practiced for about half an hour, mostly on Chiapanecas (p. 120) and Auld Lang Syne (p. 123), but also on Little Brown Jug (p. 119) and of course the midterm piece, Good People (p. 117). I have a much easier time with Auld Lang Syne than with the two songs that come before it in the book, mainly because the two hands aren't as much at odds with each other in this one. I still don't know how to focus on each hand independently of the other one when I play.
