I have been playing since - roughly - June of 2010. And here are the songs I practice....
The ones marked with (*) are ones I have memorized and I am trying to perfect the tone and timing. My goal - obviously - is to pull away from tabs as soon as possible. I have also been experimenting with various gauges of finger picks: .015, .018, .020, .0225, .025 as well as various thumb picks Janet Davis XL, National, Zookies L-10 and a metal one. I did try a couple of brass finger picks as well.
What do I want for Christmas? So nice of you to ask...
Shhhhh Surprise! - I am hoping to play a number at the Christmas Eve Service...not sure which song. I figure the church is dark...people can't see...and I am banking on the hope that at Christmas time people extend an extra amount of grace and mercy. (Keep it a secret Stan!)

Jim...you didn't tell me that you were planning to play Christmas eve. I may have cancelled my trip just to hear you.......well, maybe not. Keep up the good work. We really do need to get together to practice more often. I see some long winter months coming on. Maybe we can make use of some of those long, cold evenings.
Merry Christmas. Stan

That was my dream when I wrote my blog entry. Will have to wait another year! No use rushing a bad thing!
