Woodsheddin; is a popular term with musicians. Some people think that people in the house got tired of hearing the musical practice, so the practicer was sent to the woodshed which was a ways from the house so they didn't have to be heard by everyone else. Other people think the woodshed was a place of punishment, where one was taken for a lickin'.
We need to do a little more woodsheddin'! We have many "almosters". We need to practice with focus until we have greatly improved our ability. Work it out! Polish it up! Go to the woodshed and work until it is perfected!
