Busy, busy, BUSY week!
I played for sure. I did a bit of jammin on Autumn Leaves. Always a good tune. More jammin with Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley.
Still working my way through the 6/4 position in the key of C major. I am up to the Fmaj7 arpeggio diatonic to C. As I complete these sets of arpeggios, I work on tying them together. I will go from Cmaj7 in the 6/2 position to the same in 6/4 and back. Dmin7 in between the two and so on. I will also go from, say, Cmaj7 in 6/4 to Dmin7 in 6/2 with four beats on each.
Lots of fun.
I play my Vox some, but my MicroCube gets all my play. The Vox sounds good and all... but the Roland is my favorite and it is just SO accessible. Small, no tubes... won't rattle the walls and isn't hard on my arthritic and injury beaten knees and feet. AlWAYS A PLUS! haha.
A lot of other news!
I turned 35 this week. Had a good birthday. Got some very comfy boots. Got a Dremel kit and ate out at a couple of restaurants. 
The MicroCube I mentioned before was an early present from my inlaws.
My boy turns 1 in two weeks. For those that remember him being born, can you believe it has been a year?
I signed up for and was quickly accepted into the college I have been wanting to attend. I am going to go for my Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Where I have such freedom, I will make my project music related with regards to guitar or amp parts or tools for making such parts. 
I can't wait!
I am also gearing up for a PAF wind! This I am VERY excited about! The first weekend in June I am going to my friends luthiery school to wind my first set of PAF type pickups. These will go into my old Gretsch 6120. I have always been fascinated with what makes a guitar and/or its parts to do what they do! I will be going to his school from time to time to work on my first build. That is the plan, anyways! haha.
