Amazing Piano Song!

Thought I would share this amazing video with y'all. My favorite part is the first two or three minutes - it's ten minutes long, and it is all amazing. This is what the author says who plays the song:


Johann Pachelbel is happily asleep dreaming about his favorite song in the world when a sinister shadow emerges and suddenly plunges his dream into unspeakable horrors. Fighting for his timeless masterpiece's life, Johann conducts a glorious battle against the evil lurking in the depths of his mind, an eternal battle of courage and triumph that continues to this very day. 

--

You might have to increase the volume a bit on this video, the range of dynamics is such that a higher volume would give you a much better listening experience.

I am releasing an album soon, this will be one of the tracks-

Pachelbel's canon, musicalbasics style.

Please check out my twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/musicalbasics for updates on my first album, sheet music, and upcoming music! 

As always, thank you for listening. 




He said it took him two months of straight practice every day. 
And I thought I had it bad. ;)

Day #3 - My Favorite Place To Be

One of my favorite places to be.... on the prairie with the cows, horses, lamas, sheep, donkeys, rabbits (they taste good, by the way!), coyotes, foxes, raccoons and everything else that lives here! I could live without the mosquitoes, though! ;D







Yep - one of my favorite places to be is out here on the prairies. Rattle snakes and all - not that I have ever encountered one before... ;)

One of my most dearest and truest friends took these pics of me. They all turned out great! Thanks for a super fun evening, Amanda!

Hmmm... I guess I should post some photos that I took... considering this is part of my photography challenge!!




Yes... This one IS upside down! I was looking at the camera from this point of view for a silly shot, and then I noticed how interesting things looked from my point of view... the camera didn't capture it entirely well, but when I was upside down, the earth looked like a sphere - the way the clouds were. It was pretty cool! Hope you enjoy! 

What is your favorite place to be?

Day #2 - What I wore today

One of my favorite things to wear are...



RUBBER BOOTS!!!!


 I love the look of the bottom picture - It just seems to fit with the idea of rubber boots, if you know what I mean. ;)


Good ol' rubber boots! They have served me very well over the last year that I have had them - I wear rubber boots every day! Poor ol' things... they got a hole the size of my finger in the heel... so I had to get NEW rubber boots! :)

Leaves and drops of water











Instead of FISHING (like I wanted to... hehe) I went and took some pictures instead. :P Fresh rain... (does that even make sense?) ;D

My first posted HDR picture!!!


This was a picture I captured while out with dad. I played with it and made it into an HDR picture, but I don't think I can upload HDR pics because the file is too big. :P So here is a good one. :)

Hey it loaded!!!!! I loaded an HDR picture!!! That is the top one! I am so excited - I've never been able to do that before! :P silhouette

Sunset Pic

Sorry for not posting a lot sooner! It's been too long!!!! Now.... I've said this before.... but.... I'll try to post more often!!!!!! Haha! :)

This picture was taken when I was out with my dad. I wasn't going to take this picture, but someone who was with me and dad told me that I should. So I did, and I'm happy how it turned out. I know it's not the best, but I think it's pretty good.... considering that I haven't been in a picture taking mood for the last little while. :P

Flowers


Here is a funny story about this picture.... we were at the church practicing some music, and we had to use our laptop for the projecter. So my sister was running the powerpoint and had the projector on our screen saver or something. I then thought, "Something about that picture looks totally familiar." Then it dawned on me that I had taken that picture and so I all of a sudden said, "Hey! That's my picture!!!!!" I had totally forgoten that we had taken our laptop instead of just using the church's computer. It was funny. Everybody got a chuckle out of that one. :) In case you're wondering.... this picture was taken back in August. :)

Hunting Favorite


Eeek! Time flies by! Sorry for keeping you all waiting so long! :P
I thought I'd give you one of my hunting favorites from this year... I just love killing baby animals like this one! Haha! But at the same time I love to play with our cats and dog.... :)

A Scenery Picture



So sorry it took me so long to post! I tried to upload what's called an HDR picture, but the file was too big... so I can only post normal pictures. But I think I will keep on blogging - if nothing else I could probably take a picture of an HDR picture and then post it on here... I'll have to try it.
The picture is from when we went camping in the summer with some friends - we went fishing in that creek at the bottom of the hill, and we caught some brook trout - had a lot of fun. :) I like how the picture has some of the trees on either side of it - I think that's why I like it so much. :)
So from now on, I'll try and take more recent pictures and post them on here. :P
