I just have to blog this.
If the above video does not work, try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY
It goes to show, just because the media and everyone else has this cookie-cutter image of what is a talent, this would put us all to shame! Image is NOT all that matters.
Darn! I feel like crying. [...]

Made dinner at home and invited My Precious for a simple chicken dinner. After which, there was an exchange of simple gifts of chocolates and cards.
Earlier this week, I happened to mention to Mr. Wonderful that I’d like to go to the club Saturday to hear a rock-blues band, JC Rico & Zulu Dragon, play. [...]

All the years growing up Catholic, one characteristic that has stayed with me is GUILT. I’m such an expert on GUILT, Of all the things I’m good at, this is it!
The last entry of my post was quite a depressive entry. And I felt bad and guilty for writing it.
But to get out of the dumps, [...]

Journey the band has gotten back together. There’s a guy fronting their group. But definitely not Steve Perry. They were ready to get back together, even years before. With Steve Perry. But that fell through. So they searched high and low. And thanks to YouTube, they found their man. But this guy is nowhere near [...]

Last week Thursday, my mom (Lola) and my youngest sister (YS) came up for a visit. They arrived mid-afternoon on a very hot day, closed to a 3-digit degrees. Upon their arrival, the three of us stopped by a favorite restaurant and had a quick lunch. Then home I drove them.
After a brief tour of the house and [...]

…then it means it’s time to go to the Lane County Fair! In 2.5 weeks!
What’s there to do? Plenty, of course. Eating junk food, carnival rides, checking out exhibits; then there’s watching my favorite “All-Alaskan Racing Pigs”. Last year, I got to hug one of those little porkers.
But the main reason to go to the fair is [...]

You heard about the young Korean guitarist on my March 16th blog, right?
Now, I stumbled upon a Polish drummer. There were lots of other teeny, weeny drummers, but Igor Falecki had a bunch more videos one can follow as he got older. I’d like to predict that he will become one of the greatest drummers of his time.
Igor [...]

Martita is a favorite teacher of mine. Her personality, her demeanor, her embodiment of Flamenco dance and music exudes in her whole being; one cannot help but love her.
Although I have met her in the early 2000’s and took lessons on and off for months; there were pressing family and personal issues that needed priority more than dancing. And so I [...]

If you can’t click on the video, try this.
I rediscovered his music recently. However, he’s been playing since the 1990s.
How do I describe his music? New Age Latin? Maybe. As long as he’s playing flamenco music I don’t care what genre he’s categorized under.
Right now, my favorite albums of his: Borrasca [...]

Wednesday night, I went to work sad. Why?
I’ll tell you why?
JASON CASTRO WAS VOTED OUT OF AMERICAN IDOL!
I still am sad today! I have never been that emotionally-involved with American Idol until this year.
Jason, oh Jason! His rendition of Hallelujah, the Jeff Buckley version of Leonard Cohen’s original, blew me away. It gave me the impression [...]
