Don’t tell me it is a leap year!
Playing Sessions 365
Current Day Streak 365
Longest Day Streak 365
Not sure what this indicates if anything.
Knowing enjoyment. Picking up my guitar for the sake of it.
Still surprised when something happens.
The community is big, be nice to mingle more.
Joined TAC to focus. Even within TAC there is still so much.
Will continue to brush up on reading music, increasing repertoire, challenging my old arthritic hands.

Congratulations. 365 spins around the axis and 365 10 minutes (at a minimum) sessions with your axes.
Last year I intentionally broke my streak at 366 days just to prove to myself I was in charge and not the counter. But I still have very long stretches. Again congratulations and keep having consistent fun.

Thanks Albert. I am thinking about doing exactly that (breaking my streak on purpose).

@Timbothirroul , I just looked at your picture you attached. What kind of guitar is that? I have never seen a cut way like that. Pretty cool.

It is 50 years old. A friend of mine had just got into guitar making. He was a bit of a genius. He was making all kinds of guitars, including pedal steel guitars. Unfortunately he let me in on the design process. I wanted a guitar like Django Reinhardt played with a stratocaster neck! My family financed it for me as a 21st birthday present. They didn’t know about luthier time. I was 22 when I got it. One good thing I did was to pick up the shells from the beach to make the fretboard inlays.
A few years ago I got it set up properly and had a few repairs made. Over the years it has acquired a unique tone. It varies from day to day. Currently it is in open tuning and I am playing St Anne’s Reel on it.
The best thing I did was to buy a stand for it so it is always available to play, rather than hidden away in a case.
Thank you for your interest Cadgirl. I felt good writing about it.
