Well that's what's going on for me today. I'm feeling very very special! I spoke to Claire on the phone just before. She's the one getting married in 3 and a half weeks (why I'm going to Tassie). And we talked about me singing at her reception and what's going on with that. I was just thinking about how special it is that she and Brenton want to include me in what is one of the most important days of their lives. Forget what I'm actually doing, it's just such an honour to be asked to be a part of their special day. And she asked me to come to her hens night too. I can't wait!
I leave for Tassie in 3 weeks today! YAY!
Well our demo cd is almost done! For those of you not in the know, Ingrid and I are in an acoustic duo and we recorded our demo cd a few weeks ago. I've been listening to it some more to see what I think needs to be changed and I'm almost completely happy with it. One or two things that need altering, but I'm so excited about having a finished product!
I'm not sure what it is about music, but it brings me alive somehow. I am rarely anywhere without sound. Most of the time it's a musical sound. I don't like silence much. I'm not entirely sure why. Unless I'm sleeping of course! Then silence is great!!
I love singing! It just makes me feel more alive somehow. It expresses things in me that mere words cannot do. I also love playing the piano. It really does something for me. I like playing music in general, but I hardly play my other instruments these day, so the piano is really what I'm focussing on instrumentally. My violin is very neglected these days, as is my trumpet and my guitar. *sigh* I really get so much joy from singing and playing the piano. It feels like part of me would be very sad if I wasn't able to express this part of me. As it is, I don't feel like I get to do it enough. I'd love to do more with my music. Which is why I can't wait to get out and play some gigs with Ingrid!
Music is the bees knees. There's something so awesome about different pitched sounds all strung in a row for different periods of time.
Like Chili Peppers. Man they're awesome. And Faith No More. They were the best. My two most favourite bands, excluding awesome and gnarly Christian stuff, like Sons of Korah *drool*
