Meet some new friends (and heroes!) at Jemsite

Hello to all

Two things I’m trying to get a lot better at this year are keeping up with my email correspondence and being better at juggling all the different tasks that seem to need to get done. For whatever reason, it seems the busier I am, the more I actually get accomplished. Not really sure why that works, and it’s certainly not always pretty (as those of you who found MP3 files for my Dust in the Wind lesson in the new Hey There Delilah lesson at Guitar Noise can attest!), but it seems to work.

So when Ava, the coordinator of the Community Blog at Jemsite recently asked if I might write a short piece for them, I said sure! And though it took me longer than planned, I did manage to put together Two Tenets to Live By, a short musing on the importance of going out to listen to music as well as the importance of playing with others whenever you can.

The Community Blog at Jemsite is a very cool place, full of lots of short pieces by quite a number of writers, from guitar teachers to performing musicians to everyday guitar enthusiasts. Ava’s just started in on a fascinating series of interviews with guitar players out there in the everyday world, which she’s calling “The Guitar Hero Series.” Definitely compelling material. The rest of Jemsite is worth the visit, too.

Now let’s see if I can’t make this place worth more than the casual stop as well…

Peace
