I know I keep promising a rundown of my Exclusive Company purchases, but that rundown will have to wait for one more day. I promise, however, that tomorrow's post will contain that list. Today, however, there's one other thing that I'd like to touch on.
I've been on a bit of a mini vacation. SL and I are up in Wisconsin visiting some of my friends and family. As always happens, I wanted to go through the storage units that my folks have rented for some of their stuff, and the overflow that I had when I moved away from home. I'm always curious to see if there's anything I can take with me back to DSM when I leave.
Today, mixed in with some of the books and games that will make the trek back home with us, came a bit of a revelation. I had forgotten just how many tablature books, binders of songs, and assorted guitar magazines I had stashed away when I had to move on such short notice all those years ago. It's fascinating to me to realize all of the songs that are in those magazines. All of the lessons that are buried away in tupperware containers. I remember being so careful in picking the ones I wanted to take with me when I moved, so it surprised me a great deal when the first five magazines I pulled out of one of the containers all had multiple songs I'd love to learn (or re-learn in some instances) to play. What's funny to me is that there were magazines in those boxes that I have looked for in the last three years. Things I had assumed I brought with me when I moved, because why would I have left them behind?
I'm not sure that I have the space for all of them as presently organized in the WDM, but I'm fairly convinced that, with a bit of re-organization, I can definitely find the room I need. They are very much on the list of things I'll have family bring down the next time they head down for a visit.
Just knowing that they're still around is motivation enough to keep on trucking with the two things I'm wanting to work on right now, so that when the other stuff appears, I can start in on it right away.
