review

Well, it is over!!! Woohoo! I have my nights back to sleep. lol.  All in all besides for the late nights (4am wake up time for work) it was a really great class.  I did, somehow, learn quite a bit.  Thank you very much for being as entertaining as you are and putting everything into english.  Me, not knowing a lick about music, was awfully scared when you said we would be learning how to read music.  Like i said, thank you very much, it was a great class! And I hope that everyone enjoys the rest of their summer!!!!

To me, The Presidents pretty much are my childhood.  They were the other side of me, the side of m that only my closest friends knew about.  They are funny and tell stories in their songs.  Makes me think of a 90s version of a jongleur.  Purely entertainment, and bottom of the hierarchy chain.  They are the typical 90s band, they have a guitar and a base guitar and drums.  Hope you enjoy!





UNFAMILIAR: 3 hours relaxing music      https://youtu.be/ik22FS1cEFg
I listened to the first 20 minutes.  This was very beautiful and just like the title said, relaxing.  As you know from my other blogs I am a big fan of the piano!  Youtube recommended that I listened to this and they hit it spot on!
As the title also says, there is a violin and a piano.  I want to say that there might be a keyboard also because there are different sounds but it still seems like it is in the keyboard family.  I am also pretty sure this is in duple meter (I could be wrong though).  There are times where it seems like the violin is accompanying the piano and also the other way around.   Keeping the audiences attention.  Now is this in a minor? Is that why they call it sad piano and violin? I don't find it sad.  I feel it is deep and meaningful, very beautiful and relaxing.  Far from sad.
