Can you believe it? We're more than halfway through 2010! Hopefully, we've all held to our 2010 resolutions. I know I haven't; but, I'm getting there. Many of us have new musical goals this year, including me, that hopefully we all will hold steadfast. I'm determined to finish many of my recording projects that have been shelved over the years. I finally finished my 12-String Guitar dedication CD at the Acoustic Traveller site. My next project is a Ragtime Guitar CD with accompanying tab which will be announced at RagtimeGuitar.com. I have many other goals to accomplish for 2010 and will hold steadfast as best I can to actualize them all. I hope the same for everyone else who may also be fighting procrastination. I'm so bad, that once I purchased a book titled: "Procrastination" many years ago, and to this day, I haven't got around to reading it. (true story) Most importantly, remember to Keep on Pickin', Mickey
