If by "coming on board" you mean logging on today, it was Avalon from the Hal Leonard Jumbo Easy Song Book. That's where I ended my daily sight reading practice. The last practiced piece I played was Le Onde sometime last night.

I have just played Mussorgsky's "Promenade" from Usborne's Easy Classics.
I love this book, although it is aimed at children. It has some beautiful pieces, which inspire me to to learn the more difficult versions.

I'm working on an original arrangement of "Amanda" by Boston (the rock group). Since the group's sound used layers and layers of multi-tracked overdriven guitars and I'm using an MP-8 and a synthesizer my creation doesn't sound anything like Boston. Still I hope it'll be a lovely piece, eventually.

It's a new day, so now it's The Banana Boat Song, again from sight reading in the Jumbo Easy Song Book. "Hey, Mr. tally man, tally the ba-na-nas." Damn, now I'll be singing it all day.

Billy Joel, Waltz #1 "Nunley's Carousel", Op. 2. I'm about 1/5 through it and slowing to a crawl around all those left-hand arpeggios

David Nevue's "Song at the Speyer Cathedral." It's great fun to play. Sounds like a Cannon. Almost have it memorized.
Keep it fun, and stay motivated!
If you can achieve something without a struggle, it's not going to be satisfying.
