This week I kept to working on polishing up a bunch of songs in preparation for April Mini IGC coming up really soon!! I also couldn't resist the new lesson on "Solitaire" as one of my favorite ever singers is Karen Carpenter. So naturally I skipped to the last section of the lesson, put on the headphones and just belted it out singing along. I'll learn to play it later, haha!!
Another 30 Day challenge in the books- it went fast. Thanks Neil

I’ve had a nasty virus this week and have discovered it’s even more difficult to play the guitar when you’re coughing. Most days were a total of several attempts to play. Without the challenge I doubt I’d have even picked up my guitar

The songs I started the month learning are now fixed into my repertoire. I'm now gong back to revisit my earlier works that I didn't quite perfect, such as "Ocean Gypsy", "The Sage", and others. Come to think of it, I don't think I perfected any of them!!!
