Holy Heck!

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."
-Aldous Huxley

I played the cello from fifth grade through the end of high school. I haven't played since, and sometimes I regret that, and sometimes I don't. Watching this.... makes me regret it. I was never super, and I know I probably wouldn't be able to get to this point even if I tried (my fingers had issues moving quickly, especially my pinkie), but I can dream, right?

Watch, and drool, my friends. Watch. And. Drool.

Oh! Oh! Watch this one too!

Oh man. I love music.

Secret: I had to take music history twice my freshman year of college. I needed a better grade the second time around, and I got it. I actually got so into it that I would listen to my 8 listening cds for fun. AND I kept the book so I could read it for fun later. I am SUCH a nerd!

  4. Don't feel bad about having to retake music history! It's a tough class! I was lucky enough to get a good grade, but only because my mom did a good job of teaching me things growing up. I still listen to my cd's too!

    Oh, did you decide if you are going to do c25k? If you are, we should do it together.
