We&#8217;re eleven days into 2008, and I haven&#8217;t broken any resolutions yet. Then again, I haven&#8217;t made any. Resolutions tend to break pretty quickly. I have better luck just calling &#8217;em &#8220;goals&#8221;. The big goal this year is to start and finish the new CD. Working title is &#8220;Dogspeed&#8221;. (There&#8217;s a nice Garageband demo of the song in the player on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/music\" target=\"_blank\">Music<\/a> page. Have a listen.)<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/arlo.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\nThe next band show isn&#8217;t until March 22. We&#8217;ll be at the East Village Coffee Lounge again in Monterey. Before that, I have a few nice solo things happening at the end of next month up near Grass Valley. Complete details on those are on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/shows\" target=\"_blank\">Shows<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>Here on the web site, I&#8217;ve spruced up every page a little: New photos in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/gallery\" target=\"_blank\">Gallery<\/a>, a couple of new articles on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/press\" target=\"_blank\">Press<\/a> page, and some nods to local stores selling <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdbaby.com\/cd\/gaither\" target=\"_blank\">my CD<\/a> on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/music\" target=\"_blank\">Music<\/a> page. There&#8217;s also a live cut of &#8220;Good God Man How Big a Car Do You Need&#8221; at the bottom of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/shows\" target=\"_blank\">Shows<\/a> page. Below this entry, you&#8217;ll also find info on two new podcasts: <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/index.php?blog=2&amp;title=songs_and_stories_20_the_benfits_of_bene&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1\"  target=\"_blank\">Songs and Stories #20<\/a> is a recap of the benefits we played last Fall, and <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/index.php?blog=2&amp;title=songs_and_stories_21_wailin_jennies_3_0&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1\" target=\"_blank\">Songs and Stories #21<\/a> is an interview with the Canadian trio The Wailin&#8217; Jennys. <\/p>\n<p>Lots of cool stuff on the to-do list this year.
