The streaks can be fun but when they falter ( and they inevitably do) don’t allow it to derail you. I had a streak of 366 days (for a leap year) and I deliberately broke it because it started to suck some of the fun out of the journey. I still have long streaks and I use them for motivation but I know ( just like my Ford pickup truck) occasionally they won’t start or the tire pressure warning light comes on. So I’d say like the others to make the streak work for you, not you for it.
(I still wonder why about three months ago my longest streak dashboard went from 366, which it indicated for years, to 324 for no reason. I’ve asked support to fix it at their convenience but so far it apparently hasn’t been convenient. By the very fact of mentioning it, I must not be as laid back as I suggest you be.)

Thank you. One of the fun things about this little piece is that my grandson who was behind the camera briefly got caught by another of the cameras he had set up. It has been a real motivational boost to have the family participation. I appreciate your listening and your comment.

I appreciate it. This is near the end of this little Christmas posting run that I determined to do. Thank you for listening and your nice comments.

It is rare that the little lady will sing with me and even more rare for her to come into the Man Cave. When she visits, she wants to “fix it up” but she has the whole rest of the homestead as her domain, and I only claim this little territory and try to keep it in a more “natural” state. Thanks for listening and for your encouraging comments.

The guitar is an Ovation. It is a composite guitar and sounds great and plays easily. It is heavy compared to most acoustic guitars but works well if I am not standing for a long period of time and doesn’t have humidity issues.

My voice is much weaker and my range much narrower than a younger me, so it is a lot of fun to enjoy listening to the granddaughter add her talent. But I’d rather be voiced weak and narrow than be silenced and miss the joy of the music. Thank you for listening.

Sorry, no porridge left with all these hungry young ones around, but perhaps we can find some beef stew after they go back to school. Thanks for listening and sharing.

A youthful voice is always a great compliment to one’s playing. It covers a lot of mistakes. And it is a lot of fun for not only us, but my grandson who is behind the scenes operating the camera.

Sharing music with family is definitely a fun ride. I got her to do one with my last St. Patrick’s Day, so I was happy she agreed to another.

Thank you. I have enjoyed your recordings and postings (and humor in some of those originals you have posted). I appreciate your expertise and consider your comment a genuine compliment.

Thank you. I felt like I drug this one out a little and should have set the rhythm a little faster, but it was fun to do. I haven’t recorded in a while, so I had to get back into it all and remember how that red light distracts one.

Thanks for listening. This little burst of recording has me realizing how much I need to get back to a metronome. I appreciate your regular encouragement for all in the forum.

Thak you and I hope you had a very Merry Christmas.

Thank you. I don’t post regularly but this little spurt has been fun.

Thank you. That is custom Ovation guitar I procured from the Estate of Allen Wayne Damron, a folk singer whom I greatly admired and enjoyed until he had an untimely passing in 2005.
