    You will also find that the consistency of play and using that pinky through the Monday exercise in TAC will eventually make that stretch a reality. Welcome @TravisB to TAC. You will be amazed how the 10 minutes of deliberate practice will accumulate into success

    Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Asanas and you shall be limber. @BethL quite innovative and light fun. Thanks.

    @Kitman Great job. You are on your way to a lot of fun. “BILLY” was one of my first flat picking tunes too. You have it. Keep it up.

    Congratulations @SherryH I just completed my 3rd recently too. Time I have enjoyed and feel was well invested. I’m from Austin too. Pre COVID we had an Austin Jam Club that fell apart. But one of the days, this summer, we may try to get back for a friendly circle of music. I’ll let you know if that is okay with you?

    Sleep. Such an under appreciated blessing. (And the ability to communicate through song.) Nice job @TMutter

    We rejoice with you on not just having a TACiversary (that’s endurance truly) but in the accomplishment brought about by consistency. I am envious @Ted_D that you have a neighbor with whom to play. Sharing music is fulfilling.

    @jumpi I really appreciate your introspection and sharing your process. I have a lot of respect and admiration for purposeful living and I perceive that is what you do. You approach music from a place of the heart and mind. Happy TACiversary.

    I like the idea of just recording something without having to polish it with 20 takes. That is what happens when you play with or for others. One just has to go ahead. I appreciate that attitude @Marty69

    While other retirees might have wallowed away with Amazon Prime and Netflix you have developed a habit of true joy. What a great time to pause and celebrate the accomplishments of the commencement of a truly rewarding retirement that includes new skills and challenges while keeping the mind, body and soul polished for action. Congratulations @Guitargeezer-Jack

    Mpressive. The harmonica was right on. And your vocals reflect the haunting classic Neil Young. Good cover. Thanks for taking the time to record and share.

    I have a Martin Backpacker I usually take with me @Guitargeezer-Jack but being my focus was to be on the bride of my youth, she appreciated that I left it behind in her honor. (She didn’t mind the Theory books because she was napping as we traveled anyway). That’s part of the trick to getting to 50 years.

    And the fun thing is…. I understood everything you just wrote. And even why it adds color to that transition. The theory dimension makes the playing aspect easier. And as my brain ages it makes for much less memorization. I’ve always had a good capacity to memorize things, but with the theoretical understanding it is not nearly as necessary. I welcome our future musings @MikeGaurnier about why or how the music is working. I also am eager to see what the FBW rework looks like.
