I just posted this short video of Poor Ellen Smith. I wasn't going to post it but I'm going to. It's so sloppy. Al says my fingers fly around and after watching this, I see what he's talking about. I know to plant both index and middle fingers at the same time to get a clean push off. That's what I'm working on.

...Poor Ellen Smith, how was she found
Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground
Her body was mangled, and all cast around
A blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found...
