I'm operating on 1 hr of sleep because I needed to stay up late to finish this cause I'm heading on a plane to fly home for the new year.

It has been 5 years since my first weekly beat and I have finally done an entire 52 weeks straight without screwing up. Thank you to everyone who commented over the years, it means a lot to me. I hope I don't get disqualified because this song is actually a COVER. When I was practicing piano I found this easy folk song book at a thrift store and this was the first song in the book. I used it as a base song to practice different left hand patterns, singing along, and as a example song in my sight reading tool. I grew to enjoy singing it around the house loudly despite my room mates pleas to shut up. Now I have immortalized it into my final weekly beat of 2018.

This year I decided to do every song with live guitar tracking because I wanted to get better at playing guitar. I was able to use guitar on all the tracks (except 1 ludum dare one), but I don't think my skills increased that much. Like always, I put off making music until hours before the deadline on Sunday. I wasn't able to keep a regular practice schedule. I'm not sure what my musical adventures will be in the off year, but I think I want to get back into piano again.

Hope everyone has a great new year. I look forward to when we meet again

Diary: phew
