Blackbird...

A couple Saturdays ago, Starchild hosted their first semi-annual "Celebration of Music" held at The Bicentennial (INDOOR!!! :)) Pavillion on November 20th.  We had TONS of food and about 150 people.  As both a Student AND part sort of owner, I got to participate.  I chose to play Blackbird, by the most fabulous Beatles.  I love this song, and think that I play it rather well...alone.  It took A LOT for me to get up and play for family, friends...and strangers.  B and I chose to play it in a non-traditional way.  We did not play the song verbatum.  We didn't follow any sheets of music.  We just got up...and played.  He called the shots, and I kept up, the best I could. 

...enjoy...



Much Love,

So...many of the blogs that I read have a weekly listing of the authors "loves".  I've done a few lists of my own over the past couple of months, but am REALLY loving the idea of having a weekly list!  My goal is to have a list of five themed loves each Sunday...

Today's list?  My five music loves!

The Gibson J-200

JET

Classic iPod in Silver

I'm learning the picking pattern for Blackbird now.

The Marshall MG 15

I LOVE this amp!  It's portable, has amazing Marshall sound

AND

it has a line in option so you can play your iPod through/with it!

Seriously, your iPod will never sound better!!!

With your iPod connected, you can play along with your favorite songs...

Bliss...

Much love!
