- Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)
- I live just south of Denver. I have two beautiful daughters and one beeeeyootiful wife. I love the guitar and wish I could play more. I also have a mandolin. One of these days I'm going to record myself an album of gospel tunes, and I'll be playing the guitar and the mandolin and singing as best I can.

"Thanks Mike. I have to prove to myself that I can play the material as written but once I've done that I start to allow myself some leeway to have fun and drop in my own bits. There's not too much space to do that in SK's version of…"

I can relate to your post. As for how much you practice and how you feel about your playingl. I wish my goals were as high as yours. I'd be very happy if I could memorize 6 new tunes. I can hardly remember yesterday and rely on printed music too much. I too hope to attend at least 1 jam a month this next year.
