Where There's A Will...

The piano I just bought has a lot of demo songs on it. Seriously, you can press play, and it will go through song after song for hours. Pretty cool, really...

Anyway, the first song is amazingly close to the Will and Grace theme song. One was ripped off from the other, right down to some of the fills.

I started playing it by ear, but it's like, hard and stuff, and after seeing this guy play the real thing, I became obsessed. Actually, don't watch that guy, watch this one instead, he plays it pretty faithfully. (But both better than me now!)

I searched high, I searched low, I look far, I looked close... it was such a struggle to find the (unpublished) sheet music for this song that I actually felt a sense of accomplishment when I finally found a transcription of it! (I know! Just from clicking! But to be fair, I waded through many bad searches and 19 pages of one forum before finally finding gold!)

It was such a chore to find the music, I'm putting it up here, just in case you too might want to flex your fingers on this flighty, feisty fanfare! (No charge for alliteration!)

Enjoy!

A Day In Her Life...

An incredible day... you can read about it here...

The Piano

About the above:
Yes, there is another blog! When I first moved to Vegas, I had the silly thought that this blog would just end, and I'd post a link to the new, Vegas blog and that would be that. Seemed simple enough in theory, but hard to put into practice.

As you know, I had planned to write a book while I was out here, but I quickly learned that writing engaging and compelling stories from nothing is something easier said than done! However, as my life is pretty surreal, (can't make this stuff up!) I thought I'd base the story on real life. Since my life is just the physical manifestations of my thoughts, it's all just imagination anyway, right? ;)

To force myself to think more like, literary-y, I started writing the new blog in the third person. At some point, there has to be other characters besides myself, right?

So it needs an editor and it's just a very rough first draft, but I'm posting it here cause, well, you might get a kick out it! ;)
