Day 5769 - Day 291 - A Fun Finish

I few weeks ago I finished a lifetime dream of learning a song that meant a lot to me, and it turned into an emotional experience for me. Today, I took advantage of forced down-time and knocked out another bucket-list song that inspired and moved me: Van Halen's Panama from their 1984 album.

I still remember watching this video on MTV every hour- I remember air guitaring with a tennis racket, pretending I could nail every stroke on the guitar... and after today I don't have to pretend any longer!

I have been chipping away at this one for a while, and unlike the last bucket-list song that was very emotional for me, this one was a lot of fun from beginning to end. The last thing I had to learn was the solo, and I just played it on loop until I could get it down flawlessly... it was a great time.
