George Harrison's

Be there.
A road house filled with friends, good food and tons of fine music.

I get four songs - I'll play many more but I get to choose and front four of them.
Jesus Left Chicago
Goodbye Girl
Werewolves of London
Knocking on Heaven's Door

Sing them and play. Easy. A year ago I was learning how. Now I know how. I am not great by any means, but I have a sincere voice. I want to sing. Audiences get that and respond.
It is something to be able to look back and see progress like this.

I leaned how to let the audience hear one half of the conversation in my head. The art of "less is more."
The George Harrison (the Beatle) school of guitar.
I made a lot of progress musically in the year that is fading.
I must balance both aspects...make money and work my craft. It is not a one or the other. It has to be both.
Two huge things.

I traveled a lot. Spent time in different places and with people I had not seen for many a year and had a lot of fun. I ran into the man who had been the Vice Principal in charge of discipline when I was attending high school. I was his number one customer having spent half my time in his office. How's that for irony, karma, weird timing?

I found my voice, and myself. Once more I am happy in my own skin and proud of what I can accomplish.
I wonder how I will top this in 2012, but somehow - I know I will.
Heaven is larger on the inside than it is on the outside.
