New Year...Not So New Me

The Holidays were a whirlwind of cooking, entertaining, gift procurement, decorating, music making, and catching up with family and friends - all while being in the studio and on and off the road. While all of this was going on, I was slowly making an increasingly daunting list of things I would get around to when normal life resumed. Tomorrow is that day and I’m out of excuses. There are old debts to pay, old habits to break, and new obstacles to overcome, and I’m not quite ready to face it. Scrolling through yards of new-year-new-me positive aspirations on social media have not inspired me so much as they have filled me with the usual existential dread. But I’m game. Despite a healthy dose of late-middle-age exhaustion, I am still eager to learn and love and make music. And however it goes for me, I wish you all the best year, and the best you. 🖤
