* 2023 PLAN

As usual, what I originally put here quickly became outdated and had little to do with how my FAWM has actually been turning out. I don't know why I bother putting an annual "plan" here at all! From now on, my plan is just going to be "Have fun and go where the winds of inspiration carry me!"

* BACKGROUND

In junior high a long, long time ago, I elected to take flute as my required instrument. Unfortunately, in my second year, I was put in a third-year class due to a scheduling conflict. Being so far behind everyone else made me miserable. As a result, I did . . . unfortunate things to my flute to sabotage it in order to try to get out of class.

The repair guy figured it out pretty quick.

Nonetheless, while I've always enjoyed a very active listening relationship with music, the whole experience pretty much killed any interest I had in making my own. Until over twenty years later, when for some reason I picked up a keyboard and a computer DAW. And, more recently, the ukulele (tenor and baritone, acoustic and electric).

And now, I'm loving every minute of it.
