"I want to say ‘yes’ to more musical gigs and opportunities and push myself to play in a wider variety of settings. Do things that make you uncomfortable... that's how you learn and grow!"


- Santander






"I’d like to play my own songs on stage this year. In 2022 I had fun on stage playing with other bands, and doing cover sets, but this year it’s time to get down to business."


- Lucille







"I want to purchase and learn to play tablas!"


- Chico







"Syd is gonna teach me electric guitar! Every few years I take home a guitar with the plan to learn it… this is my year! I grabbed an Ibanez Gio purple/blue chameleon guitar and a Katana 50 amp from Boss."


- Leslie





"I want to be able to fix my own instruments at home, and to be able to disassemble and reassemble a sax in 10 minutes!"


Thomas





"My New Year’s resolution is to get my current and only band at the moment rehearsed and out playing in Tucson and Phoenix and other places, hopefully. To also get new original songs written and recorded, and play more guitar when possible."


- Denny



"My New Year’s resolutions are to avoid sugar, avoid processed foods, learn how to 'Travis Pick,' be a better friend, a release by Slow Loris (my band), consume less screen media, become a better questioner, find delicious chords, be a better teacher, read everyday, and volunteer more."
