Chuck Anderson Latin Casino Story

Here is a great story from Chuck Anderson on how he landed the lucrative Latin Casino gig.

Tijuana Taxi on Uke

Here is a cool arrangement of the classic Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass song performed on ukulele. The tuning is standard "C" tuning gcea with a low "G".

The Three Words

The Three Words:There are three words commonly used in music that should be avoided - or at least redefined.

These words are Practice, Play and Rules.

Practice - This implies boring repetition. It's uncreative and unproductive.

Play - This connotes casual fun - a frivolous, optional activity.

Rules -These are a rigid set of "laws" which must be followed.


I would suggest that the word Practice be replaced with the word Explore.

I would suggest that the word Play be replaced with the word Work.

I would suggest that the word Rules be replaced with the word Principles.

Why?

When you explore music, it becomes fun and exciting. To explore is to discover!

Work in the music business is not like work in any other field. Most musicians feel blessed to make music their career. So work in this context is joyful not tedious.

The Principles of music hold the key to the development of your potential. Within these principles, there is unlimited opportunity to expand your creativity.

New Car and Blog

Our new 2009 Honda Sport Fit and dedicated blog for it.

my2009hondafit.blogspot.com


Here is an image of our new Honda Sport Fit. This is the second sport fit that our family has. My daughter has a 2008 Sport Fit.

This is my wife and my first Honda. It is a really cool car. I'll be using this blog for tracking our life with this new car.

We picked the car up October 2, 2009 from Pottstown Honda. We didn't think we would be getting one till mid or late October as these cars are flying off the lot and the 2009's are not that abundant. Ours was found at Independence Honda in Bloomsburg, PA. As this is such a popular car we had to pay MSRP. IT di think it is a good deal. At least we didn't have to deal with the dealer for the loan. I have been a member of Benchmark Federal Credit Union in West Chester, PA since my Dad got mi in when I was 16, a long time ago.

Some of the great feature that I like about this car are the many ways that you can configure the seats for hauling stuff.

Now if we could just afford to trick it out with some wheels and other accessories with out effecting the mileage.

I'll be posting the mileage with every fill up.
