        The Rainy season is just beginning here on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

        Beautiful mornings followed by heavy heat and humidity then “Frog Strangler” rains , rolling thunder and lots of lightning.

        All followed by slightly cooler evenings and beautiful sunsets.

        But during the afternoons the best place to be is indoors in the A/C and playing guitars.

        Soooo…. I have decided to organize all my music books…..

        A book for 12 string songs.

        A book for DADGAD chords and Progressions and Irish tunes.

        A book for ALL THE JAZZ CHORDS MATT HAYDEN SENT ME….This will take awhile.

        A clean up and organization of the “Big Red Book” of several hundred songs that I play if I can read the print and chord charts.

        A clean up and organization of songs I know by heart….but sometimes forget chords or lyrics mid verse or chorus.

        I’m not going anywhere (unless a friend needs me) and I’ll just be better organized if we have to blow town for a Hurricane……we have done that only once (Irma)….but best be prepared.

        My problem ???…..every time I open up a book to organize it, I find myself grabbing one of the Ramuda and going for a ride down memory lane……and than I lose all interest in the book an try to find a better way to play the song.

        Oh well…….

          Recently I have looked through my books and grabbed a couple to read through again. I always find things to go over and experiment with. So I set them by my play seat until they get in my way and I put them away again. I always have more thing to go over than I have patients for. So I do actually work on things just not everything that crosses my path.

            I’m the same way with changing strings – I think I should change the strings on a guitar, so I take it out of it’s case, sit down and start playing it, and end up just playing for a while until I get called away.  It’s not that I don’t ever change them, but it’s awful easy to get sidetracked, and do something more fun –

            The one technique I’ve learned is to pull the guitar out, and don’t play it – just take the strings off – that kinda forces me to complete the job, even if dinner’s getting cold –
