Happy Birthday!

I started this blog exactly one year ago today! I'm pretty happy with it. :)

At the start, I didn't really know what I was going to talk about aside from touring logs - and I keep seeming to come up with ideas, which amuses me.

I'm getting about 100 unique hits a month, meaning different people who come here from various means - some of you come directly via bookmarking, others through a search engine, and some of you stumble here by accident (hope it's not too painful!)

There's a couple of you from Canada, and the occasional view from Europe and Asia, but most are from the U.S. (Don't freak out, I can't actually *see* any of you, it's all data from Google Analytics and just shows what country people are from. :)

I plan to continue with what I'm doing here - trying to post every Monday and Thursday - about being on tour, artistic ideas, drills, concert reviews, and who knows what else. But one thing I would love is for more input from y'all!

If any of you reading this blog want me to talk about an issue or hear my opinion about something I haven't gotten to yet, please let me know! Right now the only planned post I have in the near-future is for my 100th post, which will be about me, my experiences getting to where I am and how I approach practices after 17 years.

So there you have it, an open invitation - you can reply to this post anonymously, email me, whatever works. It's been a fun year and I'm just getting started! Thanks for joining me!
