Thoughts:
Reviewed the Glickstein's performance advice. So much information in such few words. This is definitely gonna take some time to get down well. Right now, I need to work on getting at least a 3-tune repertoire which I can play in front of people together (anyone..... a senior citizen center, etc) , while slowly working on samba, etc. (music for the kids :))

Repertoire:

Estrellita
Decided to go back to practicing performance as per p. 180 of The Musician's Way. Noticed that I had totally forgot the correct pre-performance procedure (October 13 post). And yet I had practiced this procedure in October quite frequently and was starting to get better.
