2nd Post

Hello readers! Thanks for tuning in to my epic 2nd blog post! This is a free topic on what I am interested in. So I thought, hey, this would be a good time to talk about the bass guitar. I recently started taking bass lessons, and I have gotten pretty good! I just learned today how to play some blues riffs and they are pretty sweet. I think I will post some videos. This first video is of Jaco Pastorius playing a song called Portrait of Tracy. He is an amazing bassist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXOnhzoC-i8
This next one is Scar Tissue by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Flea is their bassist, he is also incredible. In the video he is on the left side of the stage.
And thats what I'm interested in, thanks for reading!
Reflection
The past two weeks have been average. Last week was Valentine's Day so that was okay. Solo and ensemble for choir is coming up next Saturday. I am singing a song called An Die Musik. This is a man named Erich Kunz singing it. Lets hope I sound like him!
Well thanks for reading! Stay tuned for my 3rd post!

1st Post

Hello readers! Thank you for tuning in to my first blog for the new semester! My first topic is about technology. In school we mostly just use computers. For entertainment purposes, I have my computer, a television, a phone and an iPod. At home we have computers and a television. These have changed the way I live by simplifying it and adding other ways to learn and use information in and out of school. I personally do not think that any of these new inventions are as great as fire or electricity. But one invention that is semi-recent that completely fits in the list of important inventions is the internet. The internet is probably one of the biggest breakthroughs of all time. It has made life so much easier and has provided people with jobs, educations, and more. Well, this is my post, thanks for reading it! Tune in, not next week but the week after for my 2nd blog post, which will be very interesting, it's a free topic!

The past two weeks have been pretty sweet. Not too much has happened, just the normal stuff. I am super excited for the choir trip to St. Louis, it will be a whole lot of fun! School is okay, there has been quite a lot of homework but it isn't too bad. Thanks for reading!
