Back in January, I came up with a plan to move my musical interests forward in the new year. I knew I wanted to continue my journey of learning guitar and singing my favorite classic songs, but I needed some sort of structure or goal to keep me moving forward. I decided to create a project plan with milestones to try to keep me motivated.
My first milestone date has just passed, May 31, 2016, and I'm proud to say I reached my goal!
I challenged myself to have 3-4 hours of music I could play. I worked as hard as I could at it between work and family events. I dedicated at least 45 minutes every weeknight to practicing and as much time as I could scrape together on the weekends.
I LOVE my set list, and while I'd like to be a bit more confident in my guitar playing, I have achieved my goal of ensuring that at least the guitar supports my vocals.
My next milestone is to put this practice to the test, and go out and play for the public. I haven't performed publically since September of 2015, when Troubled Sons was pre-empted from their weekly gig at Tom's Bullpen by Thursday Night Football. I'm a bit nervous, but I know from my time at Tom's that people appreciate my voice, so I'm thinking this will be a positive experience. Wish me luck! I'll check back and let you know how it's going.
