Here's some unsolicited feedback for you- good to give this guy tips of the trade from your experiences, but without putting it in hand with encouragement you diminish it's value. In the weeds for decades or other, it's easy for anyone with basic insight to focus on negative commentary and point people at the impacts of their mistakes. You figured it out in your x amount of years in politics, right? how much attention did you give to the naysayer who kept coming back to you to prove their point? Or How much love and respect do you have for those who taught you the tools for success when you made a mistake, encouraged you to learn from it and then believed in you to get the fucking point and make it happen. At the women's March in Boston a stranger called to me and others around me, RUN FOR OFFICE. I thought, maybe I will. The bar is gone, the rules are changing.

Look up the district, the internet is at your figure tips. Maybe he's here specifically to reach the people who know how to infer things like yourself as part of a broader strategy. Lift up people who are at the beginning of their journey who want to be better than overt corruption and thievery. And from one person at the beginning of a different journey to another person perhaps near the end, I'm glad you were here to point this out and I bet he was glad too. Pass the torch, don't let it die in your hands.

Wow this excites me so much!

I have 'memory problems' - so I have a book of lyrics and chords I use anyone I play. But it's also true that getting on stage or having the spotlight on me risky makes me go blank 😬 and the book is a crutch (I will get really into the song then lose my place and mess up!)....but also I don't have it put a lot of time to practice bc I have a toddler. I've been doing a local (low stakes) open mic here and there the past year to break myself out of stage fright and force myself to practice more. Fortunately it's so low stakes I don't really care when I mess up, but I would like to get to a point where I can play 5 songs flawlessly. I know the crowd is enjoying themselves when I'm on point and disappointed when I lose it, and that is motivation!!

Well I just added a daily reminder on my calendar for 2pm to do my mobility stretches and practice guitar. I want to build the habit of practicing daily as a break from work (I work from home), and focus on memorizing one song at a time. I was never trained or took lessons so I don't have the music discipline I would like, this thread has inspired me to put the work in!
