I teach music : piano, guitar, and singing. My teaching website is http://www.gopherp.com/MusicLessons.htmThe ukulele I play mostly just for the fun of it. Though lately, I've become more enraptured by the uke: it's like the favored youngest child. For 20 years, I've worked, at various times, as an actor, musician, and writer in film, tv, and theatre. If you're curious about film credits, you can see a partial list at:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0740104/I love music. I couldn't live without it. I've been playing music for many years. I'm not as technologically challenged as I used to be. In some of my earliest videos, the audio was a bit rough. Now, I would say I'm pretty happy with the process I use for recording ukulele and voice. I hope to figure out how to record acoustic guitar and piano as well. Currently, I'm using a borrowed Canon GL1 (I only know the absolute basic functions). I upload it to my Mac and use iMovie and Garageband to finish up the video.I wish I had Youtube around when I first started out in the arts. It's a perfect canvas for self-expression (if you can manage the technology and the legal minefield).

Despite pulling many of my hairs out over computer crashes, it's still more fun than the first time around. It's largely the comments and support of the lovely people I've interacted with here that make it so. :-)

Tags: piano  Roland  blues  improvisation  Sunday  Ronin  Wong  needs  pizza 

This is an original blues improvisation I recorded last Sunday evening, July 18. It starts out as a mid-tempo blues but gradually goes nuts. Hope you enjoy it! I did it to test out ways of recording my keyboard, a Roland HP 1500. I found it very tricky. The piano kept overpowering my shotgun mic....
