2016: Looking back at what I wanted to do and what I accomplished

I loaded up my post from the end of last year and decided to see how I did with my goals, not resolutions, I hate that word.  For me, this year, Christmas felt short, mainly because I got married and went on my honeymoon at the beginning of December.

So here was my list from last year:

  • Getting Married
    • Check, did that.
  • Take drum lessons
    • Still doing that one, after8 months of hard work, I was able to have all my limbs do different things.  Still hard, but I’m not giving up
  • Performing in a Nirvana tribute band
    • Never came to be
  • Performing in some cover / original bands
    • I am part of a band now, doing the singing and bass.
    • No cover bands in my future
    • I have performed live, as a solo act
  • Working to complete more songs
    • This is an on going process

What goals have I set for myself in 2017?

  • Perform more either with a band or solo.
  • Get better at drums to the point that I can record myself
  • Have another CD released by May (Only a couple of finishing touches left to do for this one)
  • Continue to work on guitar / bass and drums
  • Record a new Christmas song, already have one in mind.

Hope your 2016 was good for you, best wishes in the new year!
