At one point in my musical career I made a sortof New Years Resolution to learn one new tune a week, which is a substantial amount of tunes I thought, to learn. So, then, by the next Silvester I would have a substantial increase in the number of tunes under my musical belt, because, well, I don't really know that many. As you are probably guessing by this point in my narrative, that particular resolution, as most of that ilk are wont, did not last very long at all. Well I think I did learn something like seven songs that year, but that is nothing like the 50-ish I had planned.
Why am I talking about this? Because in the past month I have renewed this resolution, not for the first time mind you, like a smoking habit that is hard to kick, this is a tune-learning habit that is hard to continue... and this past month, I learned two new songs and reworked, which is almost like relearning, an oldie.
Three songs is five weeks! I almost have escape velocity:P
Now all I have to do is to keep them in my head, which is sorta kinda tricky, one of those songs I learned this past month, I learned... probably five years ago... which makes my total kinda wimpy, sigh.
Maybe if I learn some more song that I previously learned a long time ago and forgot, they will kinda make a whole couple of songs, and I can truly claim that I learned 8/3 songs.
