For 2006, play out more often, write new material every day, maybe finally win a guitar battle at musicianwar.com (i get smoked by the shredders every time).

I would really like to attend the NYU summer jazz program, but won't be able to pull 3 weeks off from work though.

This is weird. Last week I visited my dad in Colorado and on arrival he handed me an electric violin and a book on improvisation. Then we sat down, me on violin and him on the guitar, and we jammed. Next thing I know, the guy at the local guitar store gives me a full-fledged lesson on pentatonic scales and chord structures for improvising.

Everyone, keep talking about your dreams because miracles do happen. I'll post a pic of my new violin if I can find one. It's totally out of the ordinary that my dad would give me something like that.

That's so cool!!!! The power of intent.

My dream for 2006 is to get back into home recording after a 3 year hiatus.
Haven't had any gear for a long time due to various issues that I won't bore you with. I'm now in a position where I can put aside a little cash each month towards musical gear - guitar, bass, mixer, effects, etc.
My aim is to have some demos up on the web before 2006 is out. Nothing too pie-in-the-sky - I think it can be done with a little discipline.

Exactly...you know what I'm talking about. Still amazing to experience the results though.




Maybe someday we can do a kirtan jam.
