Piano Sonata, Guitar Solo, Happy Holidays!
12-8-2009 PIANO SONATA IN E/A MINOR/MAJOR (MOVEMENT I) He sat at the piano. Correct posture was thrown to the wind as his elbows rose over his shoulders. His tattered t-shirt rippled against his thin yet taught biceps. His hands swept up past his chest and flowered out in two ragged claws that whistled upwards past his face.

October Musings
-
Artist:
10-1-2009 An inevitable effect of being human is that at some point in your life you will be pulled in more than one direction at the same time. As a species we form groups in which all members feel they identify with one another on some level.

What's Left Behind?
Three icons are no longer wwith us. All three have left behind a rich history of their shining moments as well as their tarnishments. I'll remember them when they shined. The Tonight Show was pretty much a staple when I was growing up. Eds' intro worked every time. I discoverd quite a few great bands on that show as well. The first time I ever "saw" Journey they performed "DON'T STOP BELIEVEIN
