Embo, take up the harmonica: you can put it on a frame around your neck and play while you paint or sculpt or whatever.

Myself, I'm going to try to make and get my students making as many of the "Great Folk Instruments to Make & Play" as I can.

I'm going to spend a lot more time with my Dwight Diller video than I have done to date.

I'm going to learn to play Art Thieme's great clawhammer version of "Scotland the Brave" before the end of January.

I'm going to start PRACTICING my harmonica playing, not just play it at sessions. I've got to work with some of the CD's I have to start really pushing myself to improve.

I'm going to do the research for, and write a song about my ancestor's life being saved by a fish.

In order to do this I'm probably going to have to restrict my Mudcat time to no more than four hours a day.
