Okay so I flew down to Tampa to spend a couple of days with an old friend and go to a concert. We decided to find a st petersburg fl limo service to take us to and from the concert. We planned on drinking at the concert and no one wanted to be the designated driver, so we hired one. We had a blast at the concert and were responsible as far as driving goes. Yay for us!
Interesting
I was looking through the site to price the kids instruments for this year and found this. It is a korg ms-20 mini. I have no clue what it does, but seriously there are way too many knobs on it. How to people come up with stuff like that? What could you possibly need that many knobs and ports for on a “mini”. I don’t know, but I am guessing that my kids might.
Jason Aldean
I love Jason Aldean. I really want to see him in concert if I can. I am not sure when he may be coming back here, but I am keeping my eye out for any news and plan on buying tickets the second they go on sale. Hopefully, it will happen soon because I am really looking forward to it.
It’s a family thing
Since the whole family seems to be learning an instrument, I decided to start playing again myself. I am looking for a keyboard piano so I can accompany the kids as they are learning to read music and play their respective instruments. I think this would make for a great family time for us all in the evenings. What do you think?
For my son
I found some alvarez guitars for sale online for my son. His old one has seen better days and he really needs a new one. He has been playing for a long time and has gotten really good. I am going to continue to encouorage him in his musical career, because as a parent that is my job. More then that though, he actually has a chance of making it in his chosen field.
Synthesizer
My daughter wants me to shop yamaha mm6 for her birthday. I just got done looking around online and OMG they are expensive. She has been taking piano lessons from my mom since she was just a little thing, and now wants a synthesizer instead of the old piano we have in the living room. I suppose I could sell the piano to help pay for it, but we have had it so long, it’s almost like a member of the family. I know that sounds weird, but it is true.
The eldest
Well my eldest son needs some new Guitar Effects for his electric guitar. He has been playing since he was about five years old and is really good. My brother started teaching him when he was just a little guy and he absolutely fell in love with it. Of course, now it is a bit more costly as he has progressed to more sophisticated equipment. It won’t be long before he has his own band out in my garage, driving the neighbors crazy.
Helping your community
Ever since I was a teenager I have had a passion for helping others. When I was in Junior High, we had to do community service and it taught me something more about life. Life can be very difficult for people and giving them a little bit of help and hope for the future is very important. There is a community outreach program that I really like. It is the sing for hope program that uses art and artist to help raise money and also to help children through artistic self expression. For kids, this is very important if you live in an inner city area without much hope of leaving it.
I have been to areas like this and a lot of times the kids just need a little attention to explore what it already there, so they can tap their own inner resources and help themselves. Many times these kids have single parents who work multiple jobs and are unable to give them that attention. Many singers and artists volunteer their time and resources to help these kids find and reach undiscovered talent.
These same artists also volunteer their time to perform in healthcare facilities for the patients, visitors and staff, bringing joy and hope to them as well. Projects like this are wonderful for communities and bring people together. Anyone can join and help out. Those who have a talent for teaching are most welcome as well. If you can play an instrument and are willing, you can make a difference in a child’s life. Our children are our future. Helping them is very important. Passing along knowledge for future generations is imperative. I am going to donate both time and resources to this worthy program and have my kids help as well. There is no reason for them not to learn the life lesson I had when I was a kid.
Freaky video mystery
This is kind of freaky. I want to know which one of the wives did it. It is a mystery song and video about a cheating man who pays for it with everything. Lately some of the songs I have heard have been very morbid, even in country music. I hope I hear some new feel good stuff too soon.
Awesome New Album by Ozzy Osbourne
Black Sabbath is making a new album called “13” and I am so happy. This will be the first time since 1978 that Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler will be working together. Their last collaboration was the album titled, Never Say Die. I have always loved Sabbath and cannot wait until the album hits the shelves. They are the quintessential heavy metal band, and living legends to boot. I hope they pass through my area for a concert afterwards. I would love to see them again.
