Thanks to Rick, Anton, Willem, Bill, Marc, Chris, & Bob for the Birthday greetings!

Sorry I haven't been that active on the forum lately. Let me use this as an opportunity to give an update. I am retired/unemployed and you might think I could sit around all day playing the guitar, but not the case. I have been volunteering and this year I am the President of the PTA at my son's middle school. This has taken a lot of time and I can't wait for the school year to end tomorrow.

Willem, thanks for the message on Dylan. I just finished a course/workshop by a local guitar teacher, an all Bob Dylan class in honor of his 70th birthday. So, now I have 10 really cool mostly finger-picking arrangements of some dylan songs - plenty of stuff to work on.

When I do get guitar time these days I am trying to learn how to travis pick. It's a bit frustrating, feels like starting over as a beginner again, learning new skills, trying to get up to speed. For example, just when I thought I could strum a barre chord and make a decent noise, I find that picking the bass on the Bm sounds like the string is dead. I haven't even tried to sing and travis pick at the same time.

Anyway, lots of things to learn & practice and thanks again for the birthday wishes!

PS - I have also been taking ukulele workshops with a local teacher from Hawaii and performed with 40+ students at a recent ukulele festival!

Happy Birthday Jim! My wife is on the PTA for our kids school and it CERTAINLY IS A LOT OF WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you get to take a break soon and enjoy some guitar time....

Why is it that the volunteers always seem to work twice as hard as the people getting paid for it?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
How about posting a Uke video for us?
