Well, Taike stole my "My resolution is to not make any resolutions" line, so I'll have to come up with something else ... ...

Actually, I started on my resolution in December when I joined a gym again ... I had been away far too long ... facing the BIG #70 in April, I want to be in better shape than I was at 65 ... we'll see ... right after I joined I had very steady attendance, then the week before Christmas I was really knocked down with a bad sinus and ear infection, and then came the holidays, so attendance slacked ... I went this morning and the place was JAMMED ... I said to the young lady at the desk "I see we have all the 'resolutionarys' here" ... she laughed and said "yes, for about a month" ...

One thing I really would like to accomplish this year is to put a bunch of tunes on CDs, sort of as a legacy to my kids and grandkids ... not that I'm disappearing anytime soon - he said hopefully - ...

I hope to keep playing/working/gigging as much as I like ...

But most of all, - and not too sound sappy - but I just want to be a good person to others ... the older I get the more I see the decline of respect and compassion amongst people of ALL ages, and I think THAT is a crime ...

So be good to each other, make beautiful music HOWEVER you want to do it ...

Happy, Healthy, and yes, prosperous New Year everybody ...
