More quotes & stuff

It's hard to believe that I only have 3 1/2 weeks left till graduation. This weekend my mom and I sent out invites to my graduation party... Its amazing how fast time passes when you're busy, it seems like Christmas was just a couple weeks ago and I can remember my first day of college like it was yesterday.

Also, its my dad's birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

Here are some more great quotes for the musical world...

"When people here good music, it makes them homesick for something they never had and never will have"
~Edgar Watson Howe

"You are the music while the music lasts."
~T.S. Eliot

"The History of People is found in its songs."
~George Jellinek

"There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music."
~George Eliot

"Music is spiritual. The music business is not."
~Van Morrison

"I started making music because I could."
~Alanis Morissette

It's Tuesday :)

Yeah! Today, I finally have guitar class. Last week both classes were cancelled, it's my favorite class so I'm happy to go today.

A new quote:

Music is well said to be the speech of angels
~Thomas Carlyle

We've reached the Beatles in Rawk History class. Mark has spent two days so far discussing the Beatles. Today we discussed Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band album. Yesterday we talked about Timothy Leary, aka Mr. LSD. He really screwed up alot of the musicians... He was a real weirdo...
Well, I'm off to find some new tab to learn. ADIOS!

Crazy Weekend

Wow, I had an interesting weekend. We had grandmas over for dinner last night and yesterday afternoon I met my cousin's online boyfriend from Australia. So strange... Anywho, I wish I had time to write a nice post but I'm in a time bind so I'll post more tomorrow.

I'm so happy

My rawk history teacher decided to postpone the test until Friday! I was freaking out cause my CDs weren't working in my drive and there was just too much info to cover in 1 day. It's awful, but I'm glad he was sick.
Unfortunately, that means that guitar class was cancelled also (since he's the teacher) on the plus side though, I got to go home 3 hours early yesterday. Tomorrow I don't have class, its a random day off.


In honor of national music month, I've decided to post a couple of quotes from famous musicians.

"Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life..."
~Ludwig van Beethoven

"Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconscious- I wouldn't know. But I'm sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness."
~Aaron Copeland

"The most important thing I look for in a musician is whether they can listen."
~Duke Ellington

Crazy Times

This month has been extremely hectic. I've been getting everything in order for highschool and college graduation. I finally got out my invites for my senior recital this weekend. I also spent alot of time working on my senior project. Last night, my family went to a missions banquet at our church. The speaker was really sweet, she and her family are missionaries in China.
Unfortunately, my crazy life meant that I had to skip the MxPx concert last night that I really wanted to go to. I couldn't find anyone to go with :'( so sad, life goes on..... Well I'll do my best to keep up on my posting.

It's been a long time

Wow! I haven't posted in forever... I've been kinda busy with college and really busy with getting everything in order for graduation. I graduate from BCC and highschool on June 15th (Huzzah!). My senior recital for piano is at the end of the month so I've been practicing lots of piano.
My classes this quarter are good. I'm taking Theory III, Guitar, The History of Rock-n-Roll, and Sociology. Rawk History is fun, its taught by my guitar teacher. He plays lots of examples of the musicians and the tests are really easy. Sociology is weird, thats the only way to describe it. Theory is getting a little more difficult but a challenge is good, I need to be stretched. And, of course, guitar class is awesome. I love guitar :)
I've gotten several new CDs since the last post... For you music fans, check out RK's new album, Five Score and Seven Years Ago and Anberlin's new CD, Cities. I was impressed with Anberlin's new music, I think they've improved as a band and as lyricists. Well check it out and I'll try to post better this month.
