The Portfolio Project: Make music

My wife passed the portfolio project on to me. A 12-week action burst. DO stuff. After doing several 30-day trials and participating in the 2 Weeks 2 a Breakthrough programme, I am ready and game. My weapon of choice will be the guitar. Following the brief lunchtime concert series (with exactly one installment) and my slowly but steady rekindling musical spirit, I think it’s time to crank it up.

I will attempt to play a little concert of at least three songs as often as possible, at least 5 days a week, meaning, at least 60 small concerts. The motivation behind it, aside from playing music, is that while I can play a great lead guitar solo, I was never the entertainer at the campfire. That has to and should change during the course of these 12 weeks. If I am on the road, you’ll get a pre-recorded show. Show time can be expected around 9pm CEST+1 (Berlin).

Being the social media guy I am, I have set up a MySpace page for my musical endeavours (I already have one for the English podcast, as you know) which will feature all concerts and updates. Also, I have begun writing and put up a spreadsheet with song list which is open and on which you can reqest songs. Finally, there is a ustream.tv show page, where you can see the live concert each night.

Thank you Jen for the inspiration, I’m in.

Oh, and it starts today.
