Danny Boy

• Before leaving for work this morning, managed to actually find the time to practice the two songs as well as begin the first notes to "Danny Boy."

• No exercise today; did not adhere to diet. Time to snap back into it!  Note to self: IT FELT GREAT TO DIET AND EXERCISE!!!!

• Continued to work on the three piano songs. 

• Will be playing music with the band during the cocktail hour for a wedding soon. Looks like we will be playing mostly jazz standards so I'll perhaps be working on my guitar improv chops.

Danny Boy

Eventful day. I bought the Epiphone Sheraton pictured below. Also recorded a (very) rough version of "Danny Boy," and here's how it sounds:

A Good Day

1) Sold Gypsy Guitar. Though I don't feel fantastic about that, I do feel good about it. Gypsy Jazz is a very singular musical genre that I just don't see myself pouring into. 

2) Looks like I'll be buying what sounds like a beautiful Epiphone Sheraton ii tomorrow.

3) I am up to the last exercise in the "Assembly Line" book: learning the song "Danny Boy." This book just might be the single most powerfully helpful tool that has ever helped me learn a musical instrument.
