My Top Ten New Year's Jazz Resolutions

1. Re-create Blue.
2. Study up on "satire," so I know it when I see it.
3. Humbly accept my cultural irrelevancy.
4. Kickstarter campaign for my chops transplant operation. 
5. Ignore all incoming Armstrong biographies.
6. Ditto Ellington.
7. Four Words: Fud Livingston Tribute Band.
8. Still have 8 Giant Steps keys left to learn. 
9. Stockpile valve oil, before prices go back up.
10. Continue to just call it "jazz."
