  1. "Reckoning and Renewal, Part V". How did I do with my 2024 new year's resolutions? What am I planning for 2025.

    I accept it's derivative, oldskool and late 😁 but I find this useful motivation. Don't judge me too harshly!

  2. I feel gross using the facebook/instagram owned twitter alternative app, Threads. Really gross. 

    That isn’t quite enough to stop me right now though. I am such a social media hypocrite/whore.

    Anyway, someone asked, “what are your guitar goals for 2024” or something along those lines. I responded with a few. I figured I would port the response over to this post and maybe add a thing or two because I ran out of characters on the app. First, does the embed code work? I tried just sharing a link the other day to see if that pulled anything in, but it didn’t. I found that each post includes some embedding HTML code. Betcha a dollar it doesn’t work…

    Based on the preview function in the editor, it didn’t work. Oh well. Here’s the text I wrote:

    I want my cover band to finally get back together after a covid-hiatus and an exiting singer.

    I want to write a shit ton of songs, record listenable demoes of all of them, and maybe have one or two that don’t objectively suck.

    I want to play a bar gig for the first time since Feb 1, 2020.

    After getting my 1978 Les Paul refretted a couple of months ago, I want to do the same with my 1979 ES-335 along with maybe getting a new wiring harness so that all four of my guitars will be in gig shape.

    Yes, kids… I just quoted myself. I dun did that.

    Anyway, there are a couple of things to add.

    I want to replace all of my guitar straps with heavy, leather straps like the one I have on my 50th birthday present Les Paul Standard. I have amazon shipping one for my Les Paul Custom and it should arrive tomorrow.

    I want to buy either a Gibson Les Paul Junior, a Gibson Firebird, a Gibson Les Paul Standard with P-90 pickups instead of humbuckers, or a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. The order I wrote them is from most wanted to least most wanted. The chances of me buying any of these is about 0.0000001%… so there’s a chance.

    With all of these goals in mind, mostly I would just settle for playing more. That’s what I really want to do.
