50/90 Plan for 2017:

I'm quite pleased with how the first month of my 50/90 has gone. At this point, one-third of the way through, I'm doing a little reassessment of my goals for the next month (and beyond). I'll update here soon.

In the meantime, however, I do feel I've already succeeded in the most gratifying accomplishment possible: started a mini-trend of beard songs. This fad will surely pass quickly. Even so, I will still be here doing beard songs, long after the joke has gotten stale and tired for everyone else.

MY BACKGROUND:

In junior high a long, long time ago, I elected to take flute as my required instrument. Unfortunately, in my second year, I was put in a third-year class due to a scheduling conflict. Being so far behind everyone else made me miserable. As a result, I did . . . unfortunate things to my flute to sabotage it in order to try to get out of class.

The repair guy figured it out pretty quick.

Nonetheless, while I've always enjoyed a very active listening relationship with music, the whole experience pretty much killed any interest I had in making my own. Until over twenty years later, when for some reason I picked up a keyboard and a computer DAW.

And now, I'm loving every minute of it.
