Thanks for expressing our inner Springsteen from our wonderful Canadian TAC neighbor.

Congratulation on your 2nd TACiversary. TAC is its own reward, but I appreciate your contributions to the forum and your encouragement to fellow TAC members and to me. Best wishes to you as you work to accomplish your next set of goals in your TAC Enjoyment audit.

The aim is consistency so I would just go on. I have been through multiple cycles of challenges and they still present challenges each time they come around. As @petelanger said, we do our best and move on.

[albert_d]

That is a heart encouraging turn of events. I rejoice with you. You have another grappling hook with which to draw closer to your daughter. And you are also right on encouraging others to continue to accumulate small wins in their guitar journeys.

Our High School local band was known as The Shy Guys and they wore white Nehru Jackets with a black light and would play Knights in White Satin. We all thought they were so with it for Clovis, NM. You took me back there.

@petelanger , @Philb , @Braden Thanks for listening and for your feedback. I am chasing down several rabbit holes and finding lots of new things to learn and try to tie together. I appreciate your encouragement.

Great encouragement. I affirm your use of the profile. I update mine as part of the quarterly goal review process. The practice has kept me directed. I use the profile like an aviation flight plan. Although I am off the flight plan 98% of the time, blown by the winds and life interruptions, but with awareness of a need for correction. I adjust and eventually get somewhere. And I feel no sense of failure if I change my destination. The plan is my tool not my master. So this week I’ll be updating it again. It’s the end of another quarter.

[albert_d]

This one slipped by me but I saw it today. All that energy has tired me out even this early in the morning. Nice job.

[albert_d]

It has been great to do this guitar journey with you. You are an example of how we can all improve by showing up and having fun and trying new things. best to you on your continuing journey and Happy Taciversary.

Which Hopefest is this? There are several but I assume it isn’t the one in Austin TX? Nice song and tribute to your parents.

[albert_d]

What a lot of fun to be playing with people and making use of open G just to have a bunch of fun. I didn’t see the bass player but I could hear it. Nice to see your smile.

[albert_d]

Double post?

[albert_d]

I hope this song helped you get over it! Thanks for sharing.

[albert_d]

Been there, done that. Will likely have to do it again. Thanks for the smile.

I had an opportunity to play a bluegrass jam session last Monday with some folks in South Austin. It was great but since I am new to the jam, I wasn’t familiar with all the songs to play a lead. I did one lead (poorly if I must say so). But rhythm wise I could follow the chord progressions. I will do the jam again but am accumulating the song list that the group plays from. If I were to engage in comparative thinking, I would say I was the weakest link. But since I don’t, I would say I had the most fun and probably learned and benefited the most from the session. And they had cookies!
