Serious courtships in past have the men serenading the women, professing their undying love while belting out songs with their washburn guitars accompanied by friends and other family members.
Gone are those days when gentlemen not only serenade their loved ones with songs but they also help with back-breaking work in the woman’s home to be able to gain the support of the woman’s family 😀
During the Christmas season, I enjoyed watching lights show than fireworks display. I am not sure though if this comes with age, lol. Or maybe because I am more concerned with the effects of fireworks in the environment that have me pick another option.
Last Christmas season’s Light Show at TriNoma was a hit with the kids, We even had to delay eating our dinner just so the kids can watch again. I’m sure others  won’t mind hauling big, bulky and nor necessarily cheap musical instruments to and fro the area if they were asked to play live music.
I like Mumford & Sons and I listen to their songs in my playlist.
Their music is unique, folk rock, and easy to listen to and appreciate. I know they are not mainstream and I have yet to meet someone I know who listens to their songs.
Their musical instruments are quite unique too. I can probably spot a cello tuner but not be able to identify a dobro. Can you?
I really hope they will win the Grammy awards nominations they got: Album of the Year for Babel, Best Rock Performance, and Best Rock Song.
I wrote about how fun it is to use my X-Mini v1.1 when I listen to music whenever I am working in the home’s library/home office. I also wrote about these new speakers that the husband recently purchased.
Between these two, there is a lot of music playing at out home.
I wonder if the next purchase would be an mbox at musicians friend since the eldest child loves to play with the Korg, which can be attached to the computer so that she can use programs to make musical arrangements. Not sure with this last part because the synthesizer is “old” and therefore may require older software to be able to play.
Music is the “universal language of the soul”. So people say.
There’s music in the sighing of a reed;
There’s music in the gushing of a rill;
There’s music in all things, if men had ears:
Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.
~Lord Byron
This household of ours love music. Just recently the husband got a pair of new kickass speakers for the bedroom. Music plays from the speakers day in and day out. The husband who is fond of music from Jim Chappell and David Benoit can now listen to their compositions to his hearts delight. I also listen to my playlist or use the speakers to watch videos playing on my tablet 😀
Here is a Jim Chappell video for “Gone”, one of the husband’s favorite.
Sometimes it feels like we have a live piano player playing from a p 155 guitar center room at home. It’s all good and I can’t complain.
