Doin That New Year’s Thang, Guitar-style

I don’t know about you, but when a new year comes along, I jump at the chance to re-examine my goals and re-focus my efforts.  Yep, I’m sentimental that way.  In terms of reaching my goals musically, 09 was a good year but not a great one.

The Good of 2009– I started this blog, joined Twitter and connected with a great community of guitarists, musicians, & craftsmen.  I bought the Taylor guitar of my dreams (or one of ‘em, anyway ;) ).  I also hooked up with House of Echo and Amanda Joy, 2 fun projects I will be involved with for the foreseeable future.  I continued to play with the ever-exciting Joyful Noise band.

My Goals for 2010–

The Music They Made: NYT Sound Collage of Some of Music’s Losses in 2009

The New York Times Magazine produced a wonderful sound collage featuring a sampling of musicians who died this year. Beyond MJ and Les Paul, there were many losses this year. I would also add to this tribute guitarist Bob Bogle & Leo Fender’s business partner George Fullterton, whose innovative handiwork I enjoy every day.  I’m sure there are many others who should be honored, as this tribute is not exhaustive.  Rest in peace, all.
