I wonder if that is true
I was reading the reviews of the fender precision bass at guitar center earlier today and saw that one of the reviewers wrote that this particular brand and make of guitar was the same one as the guitar that John Entwistle played with the Who in the glory days of 1969-70. I don’t know if that is true or not, but it piqued my interest because I have seen the Who in concert many times. I even saw them before they were famous in their own right – in fact, they were one of the opening acts for Herman’s Hermits back in the ’60s! I remember at that concert the band performed “Boris the Spider” and I LOVED it so much that when their first album went on sale in the US I went out and bought it as soon as I could.
Listen To Pandora For All Of Your Music Needs
Pandora is one of my all time favorite sites to go to to listen to music. I usually always have it on in the background of whatever I am doing. I like that I can type in a song, artist, or keyword and it will create a station based just on that. I think it’s wonderful. Of course there are stations you can choose from but I usually just type in something I’d like to listen to and go with that for the day.
I always have about 5 channels on my account. I do remove channels through the year and based on my mood. For example, I’m not quite ready to remove my Christmas music station. I think I might leave it on there until the end of next week and then get serious about putting all of the Christmas stuff away.
Do you use Pandora to listen to music online? If you do, do you have any favorite channels that you like to listen to? Are there any groups or artists that you have found since listening in on Pandora that you didn’t know about before you started using Pandora? I know I’ve come across quite a few artists that I didn’t know about since I started listening to music with Pandora and it’s been a true blessing.
Thinking About Trying A New Musical Instrument
I’ve told many of you that my friends and family are really into playing musical instruments. I was thinking of trying out something new myself. I’m looking for an affordable harmonica at Musicians friend. I choose the harmonica for a few reasons, but mainly because it is small and I can easily take it with me any where I would like to go.
I’m really excited about the idea of not having to buy replacement parts of things like reeds or picks in order to play this. It’s one piece that can be broken down for cleaning but I don’t have to add anything to it. It sounds like the perfect instrument for me because I won’t have to worry about forgetting something and not being able to play.
Street Musician Plays The Tuba
I saw one of the most inserting things today on my lunch break. I went out to lunch and enjoyed it outside on the patio. While I ate my lunch a man walked up near the patio, sat down and opened up a case. He pulled out a beautiful tuba and started playing some of the most peaceful music I have ever heard.
It was so interesting to see a street musician playing a tuba. It’s really not the instrument I would ever guess to see some one carry around to just start playing in a random location. However, that made the experience all the more special because it was so unexpected.
Hooked on SongPop Free
The latest way I pass my free time away is with a game called SongPop. I downloaded the free version to my smart phone. One of my friends suggested that I play it with her and now I can’t seem to get enough of it.
Here’s the premise – an audio clip of a song is played and it is your job to guess either the song title or the artist performing the song. It’s multiple choice so you aren’t having to work too hard. You play against an opponent and try to beat them in both speed and accuracy. As you play and answer correctly you unlock more songs in each category. You get to select the category you compete in against too. My best category so far is love songs and my worse category is modern rap which really isn’t surprising at all to me.
In each round you earn either 1 coin for losing or 3 coins for winning. You can spend your coins to unlock new song categories like TV theme songs, movie sound tracks, disco, doo wop, jazz and so much more. I really recommend this to any music enthusiast and to anyone who just wants to play a fun game during free time.
Internet Music
Sometimes when I am on the internet I log onto a free music streaming web site and listen to music while I work. There are some nice radios stations that share their music online, and there is a site called Pandora.com that is very interesting.
The idea behind Pandora is to expose you to new music and new artists that are similar to ones that you already like. That is an interesting way to decide what they play and I like it. There have been some new artists that I would not know about if it was not for Pandora playing them on one of my channels.
Another handy feature on Pandora is that you can get a short biography of the artist whose song is currently playing or you can click to see the song lyrics. And if you want to buy anything that you hear, they make it easy to link through the Pandora site to do that, too.
DIY Ringtones
Everywhere I go, when people around me get a call, their cell phones are ringing these really cool notes or ringtones that make their phone and even that caller special to them. I really want to have some special songs, too, so I have been listening to a lot of songs and haven’t really found what I want. I’ve been reading lyrics online and listening to clips – but nada.
My brother just got a new iPhone 4 and he told me that by using an iPhone 4 Video Converter he can upload DVDs to his iPhone. I can’t imagine having an entire movie on my phone – how cool is that?
If he knows so much about converting DVDs and videos, I hope he can help me do some simple ringtones on my iPhone. I found an iPhone 4 Ringtone Maker online and it looks easy enough, but I don’t want to mess up anything. If I’m going to jump into this tekkie project, I would fell better having a real life geek sitting next to me to help out if I get stuck.

New Robert Plant Album
Years ago, I met Robert Plant through my father. Daddy used to be a sales rep for a guitar company and he often brought musicians home with him for dinner with the family. My mom is an awesome cook and fabulous hostess. We would have a gourmet dinner and then sit around the living room and play music, sing and dance for hours. I had a wonderfully fortunate childhood.
Robert’s new album is coming out in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to buy it. I love the first single they just released, called “Angel Dance.”
