i am resolute
the man kept asking me what my new year’s resolution was. the thing is, i don’t do the whole resolution thing. this idea that this year i’m going to get more sleep or get in shape or learn something new or fly a plane or whatever, is dumb to me (not to knock the millions or trillions of people who make such resolutions). but, today, i was struck with a vision of my new year’s resolution…before the year is out, i shall see big smith play live. it’s been several years since i’ve heard them and i love them profusely. while living in arkansas i first heard and then danced to their bluegrass goodness. every time they were in town, i was at their show. i left arkansas in 1999 and i’ve tried to see them since, but it’s never happened. i’m always looking at their website and getting ready to plan a trip to go and see them someplace, but i’m still coming up empty. MARK my words fair reader or two, in this year 2008 i will see, hear, listen, dance, dance some more and then report back about all that was BIG SMITH LIVE IN 2008.
so, it seems i’ve changed my tune. i guess i just hadn’t figured out how the new year’s resolution thing should work for me in my life. i think i get it now and i’m thrilled.

Let me be the first to comment. I hope that you are able to go to a concert of BIG SMITH LIVE. Where are they playing this year? I think resolutions are a good thing. It’s good to have goals and the beginning of each year seems like as good as any time to think about what you want to accomplish. -
