Trying to see if I can manage to complete a few projects this year.

First I have goals listed in different places:

Well not much ...

I have been listening to Christian Merlin's podcast on France Musique https://www.radiofrance.fr/francemusique/podcasts/au-coeur-de-l-orchestre

I did not bother to try retaining the ones that I liked. I just let the flow pass
Gluck: Orfeo et Euridice, Wq. 30 / Acte II - Ballet des Ombres heureuses (Live)

Podcast "Guitare, Guitares" https://www.RadioFrance.fr/francemusique/podcasts/guitare-guitares

"Sixteen come next Sunday" by The Kraken Consort (stand at least 1 min for the second voice to enter ...)
Mathias Duplessy (I do not listen enough to his work) He plays (and sings) at 43'

Well, I just checked previous year's post and I have nothing more to add.

Just I was using a Weekly Planner (Moleskine Weekly planner 13x21) for 2 years, but I decided to stop and go back to plain notebook. I do not need a planner and writing is easier on plain notebook.
Also I do not own a car anymore
I read more books
I stopped teaching at CNAM (online teaching "Network and Security", what else ...)

I should say that my personal life has seen more drastic changes, but nothing I want to develop here.

Life is bigger than what you can imagine.

Still reading DenseDiscovery

Found:

I saw in Lyon in 1995 "La longue nuit du film court" this short film by Luc Moullet: "La cabale des oursins"
I saw when I was about 15 or 16 years old ... The movie "Julia" (1977). I have been trying to find it for years, I did not remember the title and only vaguely the plot.

Very old memory: I saw Alexander Swete in Lyon in 1994. For the bis, he played a wonderful piece that was not on the program and I wondered for decades what it was. I found out: Santa Cruz by David Qualey. He played it differently, highlighting clearly the different voices. I was not able to find a recording by Alexander Swete himself alas.

Theorbo Helstroffer Bruno "Thanx Toumani" via le podcast Guitares, Guitares sur France Musique.

Facteur Chevaux (http://FacteursChevaux.free.fr/) I saw them in concert. Pure magic.

Bureau d'Études de la Chanson (une émanation du collectif Les Aimants.) Leur Polyphonies sont à mourir de rire. (Les partitions sont en vente.)

Used this nice Moleskine weekly notebook. (But I have to admit that a simple notebook with rule sheet is better for diary. It feels more free.)
Best newsletter by far is DenseDiscovery
