Facebreak
So, since June 1 I’ve been on a facebook break – it’s been 52 days now. I think it’s been good for me, and I’m not anxious to go back although there sadly are some people in my life I have no other way to communicate with. I do feel a bit bad about not posting the cover of America on facebook although I don’t know how many listeners missed out on that.. I need to pay someone to log into facebook for me and post my music 😉
Other than that, I continue to work my paws off on guitar and keyboard skills.. at this point I’m going to try to get up to a hour a day for guitar (I’m at about 35 minutes now.. building up the callouses and the finger strength) and a hour a day for keys.. I’m still working my way through all the keys in improvising on the 12 bar blues, today was the start of a new key, Ab. (This is convenient because I’m also working my way through all the songs I feel like every keyboard player should know and this week’s is Take the A Train, which is in Ab)
I’m still growing pretty regularly, and I’m starting to surprise myself. I have to imagine another six months of this and I’m going to be shredding.. it’s so frustrating sometimes because I’m *almost* good.. 😉

You *are* good. You’re better than good, really.
Someone doesn’t have to log onto your account to post your music on Facebook. Your friends can post on your wall, right? (I think that’s what it’s called.)

No, you’re already good. Personally, I’d take an hour or two to just work on meter, but trust me, you’re already good. : )

You know you can always get me to help yo with posting things on FB while you’re on a break, just ask. Same goes as working as an intermediary for people you might want to direct to a different form of communication. I’ve become quite adept at serving as your intermediary.
