#guitarmonday: Screw New Year resolutions
Happy New Year! It's the first #guitarmonday of 2019. Your song is by The Beths, a New Zealand band I learned about from my brother-in-law Gabe. Thanks, Gabe! The music of the Beths is, as they say, in my wheelhouse.
Yeah, IÂ review my year and think about goals for the next one and all that, but IÂ hate this idea of "resolutions" because I hate rules. As soon as I make rules for myself, I'm all like "Screw your rules!". Yep. I don't even want to follow my OWN rules.
A dear friend told me a great definition of Discipline: "Discipline is remembering what you want."
So that's how I do it. Remembering what I want, and figuring out how get to it and revising my approach on the fly if I have to. My path is a bushwhack up a mountain, not a well-maintained trail. I also like to go on walkabout from even my bushwhacking.
IÂ photographed my first live show of the year on Thursday - Davy Crotch Rocket, The Tenders, and The Wanderers at The East Room in Nashville (but I am old, so I couldn't stay up late enough to photograph The Wanderers). Here's some photos from that!
Well, maybe I have one resolution:Â IÂ solemnly resolve to Keep On Rocking. Be excellent to each other this week!
