[Tenth Anniversary]

Yes, Ericsson has been somewhat "debunked", for lack of a better word.  In my sixties now, I want a balance of deliberate but also FUN.  I'm hoping to get to a level where I can improv and enjoy it, keep up.  THAT would be fun!  I, too, enjoy studying music theory....just have trouble applying it sometimes.  It's easier for me to picture a piano keyboard as I study it....the frets and multiple locations of the same note at the same pitch continually confound me!  Kudos to you for studying theory on average 82 hours a year, or about 1.5 hours a week!

And that log of hours practiced doesn't include on stage or jams, right?

Oldjock, give yourself a pat on the back for STARTING at 69!

Diane, look at #5 again, WOW!!  You certainly encourage me.  I could kick myself for not putting in more time.  Now that arthritis is hitting my hands, I especially regret it.....

You should have added as an accomplishment all you do for this group, especially on our Tuesday nights together.  Kudos to you!  Thanks for posting this.
