Sheeps and Fishes and Record Deals

Another week another blog, I always say.

Actually, I never say that...

Anyways, some things this week. I transcribed not one, but two songs this week. The first song was Sheep by Pink Floyd (sheet music here) and Get Too Close by Brooke Waggoner (sheet music here). It took me two days to do Sheep and one day to do Get Too Close, which was also on the same day I did Sheep. You might be like "Will, I don't give a sheep's butt if you did them on the same day. I don't care when you did any of this." And that's the way it should be.

Also, I recorded a piano track for an original song written by Natalie Duffy and so far everyone that has heard it thinks it is amazing. She is hoping to send it to Atlantic Records, which means in addition to them hearing her sing, they get to hear me play. Exciting stuff right there. That doesn't mean I'll get signed, though, but at the very least I'll get credit for playing for the track. I don't have the track available for you guys to listen to at the moment, but I'm sure I'll be able to post it within the next couple of weeks. Maybe.

And lets break some grammar rules in order to keep with the theme of starting every paragraph with the letter "A". SKYZONE is freaking amazing!!! It is basically this huge room made of trampolines. The Y Chromotones and I went there the other day to play trampoline dodgeball and it was a great experience, because nothing says fun like getting pelted in the face with a dodgeball while you're ten feet in the air. In addition to that, we started singing to bystanders at the bus station and on the train. It's so much easier than setting up for band events because there are no instruments to deal with and we take up a lot less space.

My artist recommendation of the week would have to be Brooke Waggoner. She is a singer/songwriter that plays the piano and she makes amazing music. Check out any of her songs from her three albums either on YouTube or Spotify or iTunes or ANYWHERE. Trust me, it's quality music. It is more of a pop style, but it is by no means overbearing like what you hear on the radio. Go check out her music now!

Erica wanted me to mention her in my blog... hmmmmm.... fine.... But please be nice and offer your condolences to her fish, Boo, who passed away the other day. Marcio gave the eulogy. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to the service, but I'm sure he lived a great life in his little fish tank separated from the rest of fish society. May he live in eternal happiness in fish heaven. Amen.

Ask me anything. Comment on my posts. Remain anonymous if you want, just please give me feedback on what you want me to talk about. What do you want me to transcribe? What do you want me to play? What do you want me to shut up about? Do you want me to post stuff like this???
