I got my first guitar the Christmas I had just turned 10. I remember holding it reverently, knowing that there was magic in that little 3/4 size guitar and that I would need to find a way to coax it out of that beautiful instrument. It’s nearly 50 years later and I still believe in the magic inside the guitar, and I’m still trying to coax it out.
Dec 19/21 entry:
I’ve enjoyed starting to look through some of the other Roadcases where folks have posted links to prior recordings. I’ve not been at all organized about saving my recordings so I spent way too much time on that tonight, but I’m happy to have done so because it really does show improvement over the years. My first post on the old Forum was Sept 13/14, wondering if Justin had any plans to come to Canada again, and then Oct 1/14, asking a question about overseas delivery for Justin’s songbooks. No posts after that until Jul 14/17, when I became an active member of the Forum. There were only 2 recordings that I couldn’t find (Wake Me Up, and Tears in Heaven), not counting Christmas songs, and soloing / improvs. If I count the 18 tracks on the ‘Album’ of covers my partner and I recorded in the fall of 2020 (and I am counting them!), that leaves me with 42 recordings altogether. There’s a few I’d like to revisit, but it’s nice to be able to see that I have learned a lot in the last 4 1/2 years - and that’s thanks to Justin, and everyone who posts and replies and encourages. This is a great community, and I’m very happy to be part of it.
There’s not enough electric guitar in these tracks - I hope to start changing that in 2022.
