What plans do you have musically in the New Year? Any musical resolutions? Visits? Wishes? I am going to try and learn more songs fully without relying on crib sheets. I may buy another guitar, as I want a full bodied acoustic 6 string, but it will depend on the quality of any pick up I can have fitted. No actual plans musically for New Years Eve but I do want to try and get to more concerts in 2010. Whatever you plan or do I hope you all have a great New Year :-) mp |

26 Dec 09 - 07:40 AM (#2796617) Subject: RE: What are your New Year plans musically? From: Will Fly My main ambition is to progress as fast as I can on the violin. I've been playing (with lessons) since March and I'm aiming to be be competent enough to go to Ben Paley's workshop (courtesy of the Lewes Saturday Folk Club) in March 2010. I dared to play in public at a recent carol evening - where my scraping could slip in quietly among the more competent players) - but that's a far cry from a session! So - at least an hour a day... |

In the afternoon of Jan 1st, we have a tradition of celebrating Epiphany (the visit of the Wise Men) by playing music, singing and feasting. It's a great excuse for getting out the exotic drums. |

From: Jerry Rasmussen In January I plan to start recording a new CD titled Songs from The Gate of Beautiful, the book I published last February. The book include lyrics and commentary on eleven of the gospel songs I've written and from the beginning I planned to do a companion CD of the book. I've made friends with someone who lives about six blocks from our house who has a recording studio and is anxious to get started. He'll charge a very modest fee, and I hope to get my friends from my gospel quartet, The Gospel Messengers, to sing harmony on some of the songs. At the same time, I'm reviving my moribund folk music "career," and am looking forward to getting back on the road doing folk concerts. I think it will be a good year. Jerry |

From: Bee-dubya-ell For New Years Eve, weather permitting, I plan on sitting around a campfire under some trees and jamming with friends. If weather's not permitting, we'll probably do it in the barn instead, but without the campfire. |

Keep practising alone too. Record my new songs with the guitarist I've just met. Meet more good musicians (fiddler, pianist, guitarist) to work on performing them. Stay open to the exciting new creative surge of songwriting that returned recently; don't be so perfectionist and self-critical, which often stops me writing. Just do it! |
