Musical goals for 2021

[Silence Dogood]

Here I am on the last day of the year and thinking of what I'd like to accomplish musically in 2021.   I'm hoping to sing more.  I have a decent voice but don't use it much.  I think with some effort I can get it in the best shape of my life.  I'd also like to play my mandolin a bit more -- there are plenty of old Celtic tunes calling to me.   But mainly, I just want to play music most days if I can. 

What about you?

Get more gig's and more shop work.

After a sprained wrist back in August, and the end of my monthly jams here at home, I have been lazy and not playing much.

My goal is to start playing, in earnest, again.

I am a member at Classical Guitar Corner Academy.  I am presently in Grade 4 and am working toward passing this exam.  It's a structured and well-ordered program with students from around the world.

Record, Record, Record. I got some pretty decent equipment to replace what was lost in fire. In place of gigs, stay away from virus, write and record.

I'm concentrating on Piedmont blues and resuming bass lessons this year.

Got out my mandolin last night, or really the wee hours of today, and played a string of Irish tunes.  I'd not played mandolin in months but it was still all there and flowed very well.  It was a lot of fun.

Begin to record my own music and use recording as a tool to force me into playing cleanly.

Stay healthy and pray that the others do, too.

Maybe it would be cool to do a Larrivee Forum members music CD... we have enough talent to pull it off. And a lot less expensive than trying to do a new Forum guitar. I could envision a 20 minute version of "Wabash Cannonball" with a lot of vocals and instrumental breaks from the various members for a finale....

There's an idea, Mike! Hope you're having a good holiday season as we wind it down into the New Year.

My goal is to learn more about the guitar I've been real flaky about it lately
Also to put some songs together so I can record
Maybe get a combo together to go play out

Looking back at some posts for some other info, saw this. Guess the CD was too hard to do?

Yes, I need to think more before posting.

Yeah, apparently, it was easier to get a new Forum Guitar.

As the OP of this thread, it got me thinking: What did I accomplish musically in 2021?  Well, I did set out to sing more and I did sing quite a bit more.  My voice is getting back in about the best shape it can be, and it's been fun to sing more songs.  I meant to play more mandolin, but I hardly touched the thing.  I couldn't put down the Larrivee long enough!
