We often think of this time of year as the end of one period and the start of another, even though it’s an artificial distinction. Like so many folks I tend to mull over what’s gone on the last twelve months of my life, weigh the upsides and the downsides, and start thinking about what steps I might take in the coming year to improve the odds. Yes, folks, it’s New Year’s Resolution time!

So, aside from personal stuff, what am I going to resolve here on this last day of 2008?

• continue the directed guitar practice I’ve been engaged in since October or so
• find opportunities to perform more regularly and to get paid for it sometimes, maybe, even, already…
• write some more music
• record more music
• learn to sing a bit

There, that should keep me busy!

Happy new year…
