I would have been surprised if you hadn’t said IGC. What DOES surprise me is the lack of accompaniments to your “list”.
That was rather non-verbose of me, wasn't it?
Okay, I'll elaborate some....
Musical highlight: Getting my first electric guitar and that event becoming the catalyst for my renewed interest in learning to play more than cowboy chords.
One of the most fun musical highlights: starting to arrange a new song and realizing I finally grok enough theory to understand why and how the original artist did what they did.
Musical teaching highlights: learning the rudiments of songwriting with Dave and Dan and putting together my first original song.
Performing highlights: my first-ever (and thus far only) open mic experiences at IGC. Even when I did a crash-and-burn one night (never change the vocal key at the last minute unless you're far more seasoned a performer than I). I was scared, but excited, and looking forward to more.
Takeaway from the year: Yes I Can. And, be fearless and embrace the fun. :side:
