I will learn to play the bass guitar and will finally read the Keith Richards autobiography!!!

A 30 stinking second allotment to drop the Elvis is of Gypsy descent bomb. bha.

Well, I'll get the essay done and hopefully it'll result in some discussion that doesn't involve My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding which has been so upsetting and hurtful for the Romani-Americans for so many reasons.

Thank you for the deadline. Clearly if my research is on floppy disc I've procrastinated long enough.

my resolution is stop the tears of bordom i shall now have over the summer without new soundchecks to pass my work day afternoons. how does spotify work?

My summer resolution is learning to play the dumbek, have started a series of classes.

My grandparents were jazz musicians and I've always wanted to write a screenplay about their lives but I found looking up places where they would've and could've played in all the states they lived during the 40's - 60's. They lived in WV, TX, TN, and MI. so I'm going to find these place so I can move on with this story.

I'm going to get my website up for the music I've been doing with homebound elderly and disabled; get better at the upright bass; spend sometime with my tenor uke and banjo, and spend a week studying with Molly Mason and Jay Unger in the Catskills!

Oh, and help re-jigger a radio show about music. That too.

Do drums for most of a new album by my band. And learn to read music, at least a little bit.

Support my daughter's quest to learn the penny whistle. Return to Doc Watson's music. Get our Craigslist piano tuned again. Sing more - and learn more traditional Irish songs.

Kudos for posting the psychotherapist's Craig's List ad. That made me smile.

The Everly Brothers are close personal idols of mine and paying tribute to them is something I've always wanted to do so I plan on learning a solid 30-40 minute set of Everlys tunes and performing around with a friend who I hope can keep up with the harmonies!!! (;

NOS = New Old Stock.
Sorry, it's true.

i'm going to play some banjo, classical guitar, play jazz on an 8 string guitar. im also going to start composing.

And you'd best end with a snippet of the Happenings, or the most obscure cover you can find in 32 minutes.

Finally make the full transition from analog to digital in creating music.

I'll always have a fond place in my heart for a 20 channel Soundcraft in an Anvil case, but an iPad-controlled Mackie, running a simultaneous digital multi-track to mix later, appeals to that special place in my heart where geek greets guitar.

Though nothing can replace Soundcheck, one thing hasn't been mentioned,what is going to be in the 2PM WNYC time slot?

I am going to learn how to play full guitar chords instead of the one-finger cheats I use on the G and the C. I will also conquer the dreaded F chord.

Well, at least I'll play the full G and C.

Listen to Leonard Cohen's new album, old ideas. Got tickets to see him at the Barclay Center. Will have to play it loudly as my mom has tix to see Barbara Streisand and she will playing her songs to drown out mine :)

I'm glad AJ wants to quit snoring. Just to clarify though, the didgeridoo is not a woodwind instrument, but would be considered part of the brass family because the method the sound is produced.

I will be embarking on two musical safaris this summer.

The first will be my quest to perform 500 popular songs at various karaoke clubs and bars in the NYC area. I'll be reviewing these songs as content for the upcoming Astral Pop karaoke app, a useful and fun tool to help people break the ice, put away their shyness, and release their inner karaoke beast on the mic.

My second musical safari is to continue conducting extensive research in my Platypus farm/laboratory here in Astoria to see what songs the platypii respond most favorably to...coming to the top of the water tank to receive food at the proper feeding times, playfully splashing around etc..

This summer i'm resolving to try and combine the very slow and moody instrumental music i make with the very loud fast and aggressive music i make into something that isn't completely stupid...

wish me luck

My summer Musical goal is to get a paying gig singing.
And graduate from my weekly job hosting the Singers' Sessions at Zinc Bar. But that's fun too--I'm not going to stop that.

I am a member of a non-profit, no audition community orchestra in Westchester. This group was started three years ago for those of us who are finally dusting off our instruments and want to have fun playing in an ensemble. The Really Terrible Orchestra of Westchester (modeled after The Really Terrible Orchestra of Scotland - organized by the writer Alexander McCall Smith) rehearses in White Plains every other Monday and performs several times each year. It is great fun and a wonderful motivator for keeping the music resolution going! The easiest way to find out more about the orchestra is through www.facebook.com/RTOWestchester

My summer music resolution is to teach my 6-year old daughter to play cello. She wants to learn and we got her a wee instrument. It's a matter of me finding the time and patience to do it!

Thinking hard about this.
Do I throw down and write another essay on the cultural contributions of Gypsies in the American South?
Do I try and get that Sacred Harp sing in Asbury Park going? (It's so nice outside who wants to be indoors.)
Or do I learn how to actually play that ukulele that's been a part of my facebook profile pic for the last three years.

Deciding is hard.

learn 10 trad tunes, write 10 'trad' tunes. WRite the songs of the robot union rallies. learn the tabor pipe.

Terre Roche conducts a Sunset singing Circle Friday nite at 7 in Wagner Park at the tip of Manhattan. Lotta fun.
