Sorry....

March 29, 2008 13:40

I posted a blog then I need to post another one and I didn't want to edit the other one. So I was watching "Raise Your Voice". Anyways I was watching the one girl who plays the violin. And I was wondering: Do violinist who play college level and all that stuff have four fine tuners on it? I don't know I just always go the impression that college level violinist got rid of the three lower fine tuners although I could be getting the wrong impression.

Donate to Someone Else's Piano?!

March 25, 2008 22:48

Hmmm. Since I have just joined iTunes I was looking for some free podcasts, mainly pertaining to classical music. So I was looking for Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 6 and I found it. It was under a podcast for Jeremiah Jones, or someone like that, anyways his website was: www.signmypiano.com
Which is a site where you can donate money for his piano and in exchange your name will be put onto the lid of his piano. Maybe I could do that....

I want a grand piano, if you would like to donate please e-mail me. Only joking, kind of.

Candy!

March 24, 2008 13:17

This is a chocolate Easter egg my grandparents sent me for Easter. They made it in their candy shop. It's filled with peanut butter. I didn't eat it right away so that I could put a picture up.

August Rush

March 13, 2008 16:34

I just finished watching August Rush. And despite what people say I love the movie. Beautiful cello playing, beautiful Rapsody (how do you spell that?), and the New York Philharmonic (is that really them?) Some people have told me that I could be a musical prodigey just because of the number of instruments that I play but I don't think so if you could compare me with the kid (if there was really a kid like that; I'm sure there are). I wish I could go to Juliard but I know that I'm not that good. Maybe some day I'll be very good. Anyways I just wanted to say this in my blog. I want a grand piano, if you would like to donate then please e-mail me. Just joking, kind of.

What this has to do with the violin you may ask. I'll tell you. When they show the cellist she is holding a little girls hand while humming Fur Elise. The little girl has a violin case in her hand that's good enough for me.

I GOT MY LICENSE!

March 5, 2008 21:22

Oh, just so everyone knows. I just got my license! I'm amazed they passed me. When they asked me to parallel park I decided that I would try. Well, sufficive to say I ran into the curb while backing in. Then they asked me to back around a corner, well I ran up onto the curb at almost 5 miles an hour. Why they passed me I'll never know. What this has to do with violin I'll never know. Also I got it on February 29th.

The End of A Life

March 3, 2008 18:20

Well the missions conference is over me and Michael had lots of fun. You can watch the video here of us practicing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN6RusqfBno
I'll have another uploaded within the next day or so.

My 2x2x2 Rubik's Cube has broken. Over use is the cause of death. There will be a memorial service for it later. The only problem is that I won't be able to buy a new one for a while. : (
