I hope everyone had wonderful Christmas, and wish everyone a safe, peaceful and prosperous 2018!

I bought more music in 2017 than I brewed beer. But after a 20 year layoff, 45 gallons was not bad. Still working out the kinks in my procedures and equipment, and the fact that I'm not as young. How I brewed 20 gallons (4 separate 5 gallon batches) back in the day, I can't fathom, especially using a stove. Had a robust porter and kolsch that turned out very good, the other batches were middle of the road. Like my plant breeding projects, always trying to get something better....

Ten favorite releases 2017
Ray Davies - Americana
Hiss Golden Messenger - Hallelujah Anyhow
Jason Isbell - The Nashville Sound
Nikki Lane - Highway Queen
Benjamin Booker - Witness
Royal Blood - How Did We Get So Dark?
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - Soul Of A Woman
Tift Merritt - Stitch of the World
Protomartyr - Relatives in Descent
The Replacements - For Sale: Live at Maxwell's 1986
 
2017 was a very productive brew year for me, with 22 five gallon batches. Not included are various wines and meads that found their way into carboys over the year. I'd like to up that next year, (batch count, not gallons). I've been doing this for a decade, and continue to grow my knowledgebase and skillset. The thinning out of excess equipment acquired over the years has also begun.

Musically, most of my dollars went to concert tickets, the most recent being last night's show, the August Burns Red annual Christmas show with my daughter. I still wasn't quite the oldest guy there, so I'll keep going every year until I am. :rock:

Highlights for me were finally getting to see Van Morrison, taking my wife to see Reo Speedwagon, (her favorite), and the Counting Crows/Matchbox Twenty show was very well done. My daughter and I did an additional August Burns Red show earlier this year, where I surprised her with VIP meet and greet tickets. Very nice group of guys, and a high energy show, as usual.

Releases from 2017 I really enjoyed, and will be my playlist for this morning:

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Louie, Louie, Louie
Van Morrison - Roll With the Punches

Yeah, somewhere in my barn, a box of old 8-tracks resides, with a copy of 461 Ocean Blvd..... You guys got me thinking about multiple buys and about music I've given away to students. I always have music playing in the shop while we are working on projects, the more inquisitive students have asked for copies over the years. Hope they are still searching out new and different music.
