Fall semester done.


Smooth for the most part. A little tricky balancing "The Last Ship" and my classes, but without a doubt totally worth the time and effort.
I have become an expert at using UTA. FrontRunner to the Blue Line to the Red Line, and then the reverse.
Looking forward to a little time off and then we'll see what comes in 2017.

Milestones in 2016:
Ramping up and maintaining a daily practice schedule
Deep sea fishing with my Dad, Bruce, and Micah
"The Last Ship" at Pioneer Theatre Company - making new friends there!
Meeting Sting

Happy New Year to anyone who happens to read this.

New profile pic.


This ship has sailed, but new friendships and connections remain. 
Not until something is done do you realize how special it was. 
Did I mention Sting showed up?
The Last Ship Orchestra (minus Daron, sorry!)
With Helen Gregory, our Conductor and MD.

"The Last Ship"...guess who shows up?

Sting and myself trying to get a pen to work. He was very gracious and seems down to earth.
The show runs thru October 1st at the Pioneer Theatre.
It has been a pleasure working for these guys!

Guitar info:
Taylor 1 - standard tuning "Tommy"
Taylor 2 - DADGAD capo on the third fret (borrowed)
Martin - tuned down to D (borrowed)
Carvin Synth Access guitar with a BOSS GP10, VGuitar essentially
