NFL/NCAA

The football seasons are nigh upon us, and my guitar is being unwrapped. Progress reports to follow weekly! Yes, this concern is ongoing, and is not a dead blog... :Þ

Hello Again...

I've been practicing sporadically 'somewhat' lately. And I've had songs stuck in my brain that I want to learn acoustically. They are an odd bunch, but if I can master them (and get my voice to fit their molds), then I'll be a proud man...

Some of the songs are:

• Somebody to Love ("Glee" version)
• She's All I Ever Had - Ricky Martin
• Better - Kristin Cifelli

I hope to have them down by mid-autumn. I seem to get the most fun out of practicing during football games (both NFL and NCAA).

Back in the Saddle

Now that I am employed full time once again I am going to make sure my free time is well-spent.

I practiced in front of the football games today for several hours, and plan to make playing my guitar as important as working out.

4 Days and Counting...

I haven't put my guitar in its soft bag all week, and today is the 4th day in a row I've practiced.

Yesterday I only played off & on for an hour or so after I got home around 3pm from Rhode Island, but today I got in several hours of work on most of the songs I decided to learn back when I was taking lessons. I am regaining muscle memory and dexterity, and I am loving it. In fact even though I worked from home today, most of it was processed through the left side of my brain. I also produced "Birches 1" at my easel. It is acrylics on canvas, and I had a blast moving from room to room, trading off between my guitar and my paint brushes. Three cheers for momentum!

And Today Makes Two...

...days in a row. Only an hour, but that's much preferable to a day missed!
