Daily Comment

I am excitedly looking forward to a more relaxed Winter than in the past. Mostly this is due to having only two booked gigs in the next 6 weeks (only one if Bradshaw finds a new bass player). And because, after that, my days are free.

I am doing/have done a few things with that information. First, I have gotten an electric guitar and amp (previously reported here), and I am planning on spending more time on that guitar than on bass, concentrating on building my repertoire for solo performing (an open mic thing, not a new career move. Although...) and for improving as a guitarist.

That's for starters. Once I get to the days-free part, I'll also start working on the upright bass.

In short, I plan on spending the part of my Winter that takes place in Syracuse playing music and learning songs. And I plan to spend any time not in Syracuse visiting friends and family.

I'll fill in any cracks and breaks with "I don't know", I guess.

Or maybe not. These "plans" are just guesses I'm making now about how I'll feel later, and nobody, including me, knows for sure what later will bring. Or how I'll react to it.

The 'plans' are just steps in the direction I want to go. They are attempts to influence a future nobody knows. When it comes down to how the future unfolds, like everybody else, I'll just have to wait and see.
