This weekend I decided to string up my 12-sting and get to playing again. But, as luck would have it, fate was not particularly on my side and I busted my low E-string while trying to tune up the guitar… it has been so long that I forgot how to properly tune Wesley up (Wesley is the name of my guitar… that's a story for another time).
I'm really not sure what has kept me away from my guitar for so damn long. I love writing music, I love pouring over the creative process of it all and love exploring emotions in song that I may not be able to process in writing or through some other creative process. What I hate is trying to remember how to play some of my favorite songs that I wrote. Last time I picked up my guitar I tried to play one song in particular that I really like and simply could not remember it. I was beyond frustrated by that!
I don't think I can ever make a career at being a musician. I love music, and although music is truly a passion of mine, I just don't think I have the particular gumption to make it a real career. That does not mean, however, that I shouldn't pursue it for pleasure and fun. I want to record an album at some point as well, if for no other reason than for posterity and to say I did it.
But, that will all have to wait until I can make it to Guitar Center again and pick up a new set of strings. Well, another new set. When I get a few things set up, and when I get back in the swing of things, I'll be sure to post a few songs up here for y'all to check out. Just promise to not be mean!
