Happy New Year Note
Posted on January 1, 2010 with 0 commentsWishing everyone a happy new year.
Thanks for all the support and learning I received from every one over the past year. It was a joy and honor working with old friends and meeting new ones. I am very thankful to all who have crossed my path and shared a piece of themselves with me.

Some of my music intentions for the coming year.
1) Mosby Open String Studies for Guitar is finished and edited. This is a songwriters guitar manual. It is for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of open string chords, scales and theory in order to move beyond the standard G, C, F, D, A, E chord progressions. It will hopefully be ready for internet launch in February.
2) Mosby Music Moments is a monthly music blog starting in January with room for feedback. These are short informational essays on interesting music topics. The goal is to stimulate conversation and helpful insight about how we find music placed in our lives and thoughts about its potential effects. I will also cover ways to creatively bring various aspects of music into our lives for healing, uplifting and general enjoyment.
3) April 17 is a concert with my Guruji Ustadt Imrat Khan, his son Shafaat on tabla and myself on Imratguitar at the Ethical Society. I hope to focus my performance efforts on more community based concerts of the highest standards to raise awareness for planetary and humanitarian causes.
This concert will benefit the homeless with hopefully all ticket sales proceeds going to Community Alternatives. This is an organization which helps the homeless population dealing with heart disease, mental illness and other acute ailments.
