Tonight two of my grandchildren are singing in their school concerts. The first one starts at 6 and the second one starts at 7. Bummer. I had hopes they'd be in the same concert.
First, Carter's class will sing. Then, Alyce's class will have their concert. I had thought we would eat after Carter's class. Now it looks like we will have to eat before we go.
Regardless, I am looking forward to tonight!
If you know me, you know that I love to sing. Not only at home, but,
if I'm in the grocery store and someone says something to or near me
that triggers a line in a song, I start singing it. Well, that is until
Abby was old enough to warn me not to as we walk into the store. Then
when it happens we just look at each other and burst out laughing cause
she knows I REALLY want to sing that line.
The other 3 kids never told me that I embarrassed them when doing that. I think they just got used to it. I sang a few times in church (Heather and me), was in the choir at 1st AofG, at my Dad's funeral, and in my niece's wedding. Really, I'm not that great. Both of my daughters sing better than I do. My voice was a lot better when I was young.
Heather actually had a microphone and a sound system to sing with. She actually had a full music scholarship to go to Drake. I didn't realize how beautiful Abby sang until she and Heather sang a song in the backyard together. She's pretty shy about singing in front of people, I think. Heather sings with confidence (her voice). I'm hoping some day she'll do a song at church (when she gets the nerve up.)
Now my granddaughter, Taylor, and grandson, Jordan, are singing in school choir. Sydney sings too, I think. I can't wait to see this new generation bloom in song.
Heather played the clarinet and piano; but, she could pick up any instrument and play it. Taylor plays the clarinet now or base clarinet, I can't remember. Jordan wants to learn how to play the guitar. My husband plays chords on the guitar and Jordan wants Grandpa to teach him. Josh played the drums when he was young.
Heather and I took piano lessons at the same time. I would always play songs first in front of my family, then let Heather play as she was so much better than me. I've always wanted to have our family be a band, playing and singing together. Oh, well, maybe my grandkids will do that!

I know I rant about living in Iowa, but, seriously, another week of frigid weather? I am so sick of it and I am not alone.
I think we will be getting snow the next four days. Yuck. Lord, are you listening to your followers? It is too cold in the Midwest and probably the East, too.
It seems like there are crisis all over the US. California was having a drought, now they are getting too much, too late. Brother. Life is not fair.

Who invented the music keyboard and when was it invented? Robert Moog introduced the modular synthesizer in 1964 which led to modern day electric keyboard. It can function in the same way as an acoustic piano. It can sound like many different instruments and so much easier than hauling a piano around.
My daughter has a keyboard, but I'm sure it is not as nice or new as the keyboards you will find here.

Two nights ago I started feeling like there was water running down the back of my throat. Steve, my hubby, had been taking Emergen-C for over a week, fighting being sick. I started sneezing over and over, then having to blow my nose. Puffs Plus, where are you?
I finally took a Benedryl as we didn't have any Sudaphed. And I took one packet of Emergen-C. After about two hours, I started feeling better. I need to buy stock in Emergen-C. The Benedryl was expired but it must have helped some.
Steve remembered I had drank out of a water bottle that was his, probably why I got sick. Thanks a lot!
He just called me after he went to the doctor (finally). She gave him a prescription for an antibiotic. Yay!
Here's hoping none of you have this crud!

Headphones are a
necessary part of every musician's toolbox. They used to be considered just an accessory. With them you can track and practice sessions or monitor live – even to mixing – you need at
least one great-sounding pair of headphones.
In-ear phones wouldn't be the first choice for mixing or any sort of reference-quality listening.
Long session can get uncomfortable, which is why supra-aural phones with ear pads have become common.
While I didn't notice if anyone in the band at the last sermon I saw had headphones, the sound was supreme.
But if I needed headphones, those are the type I would invest in. I wish I could sing like I did when I was young.

Five years ago today Jordan got the birthday gift he wanted. Christian was born on Jordan's birthday. Let me tell you, Heather tried to have that baby many times before he finally appeared. She really didn't want him born on Jordan's birthday.
I wonder, as does his Mama, how Jordan feels about that today. Jordan turned 15 (wow) and Christiano turned 5 (another wow). Man, my family just keeps growing up.
We're supposed to go to Buzzard Billies for supper in honor of their birthdays, but Grandpa is very sick and I really don't want to go to a place that serves a lot of fish, even though Heather assures me it doesn't smell fishy. I cannot even walk into Red Lobster...my lungs start closing up.
Here's a happy birthday to you boys, Grandma hopes your day is wonderful.
