New year, new music

Hello,
I keep letting way too much time go in between posts. I'm never going to get anyone to read this thing if I never post updates.
So...
It's a new year. I'm really excited about that. Last year was very much a year of transition, both personally speaking and for the band. We recorded and completed our first cd, which was a year in the making. We went from sketches of songs to selling our music on iTunes. We've made some great friends and contacts, been interviewed, photographed, and played on internet radio. We added new members. Out of last year's small triumphs, we have taken an ambitious approach to 2010. We recently acquired new recording software, 2 new amps, and a gorgeous new acoustic/electric guitar that's going to add to our range of sound. We have rough versions of 5 or 6 new songs ready to mold into a new collection of great music.
I am learning how to play guitar for...about the 3rd time in my life, and this is the first time I've experienced some measure of success. There's a lot to be said for willpower! I'm more driven to do well than I ever have been previously.
We are in the process of learning and rehearsing to start playing live. I can't speak for the others, but I've been performing my whole life, and it's something I'm definitely looking forward to.

Take care,
