New Zealand

Hi - put it out to my kiwi connections, let you know if I find out anything... Rosalie

Vinay, I had to go back to the blog to remind myself what you were commenting on...
but you are so right. Tweens rock, they are like mini-adults with tons of enthusiasm and humour but none of the sarcasm of true teenagers, yet.

On the music side, I heard this great jazz band at one of the small stages at the Montreal jazz fest, from New Zealand. Their front man and piano player Aron Ottignan (?) was so good as well as being an awesome performer. Unfortunately I am not having much luck finding any of their music.

Has anyone heard of them???

Peter Gabriel

How about Peter Gabriel the other night? I thought it was one of the most beautiful, magic concerts I've ever attended. With the odd roar of the crowd in behind when the Habs would score, the evening was quietly intense, and wow what a singer he is! His voice is, well like I remember from the 80s. The orchestra was amazing, the arrangements breathtaking. Art in action. Heard any good music lately? Rosalie

Vinay,
If you are still out there, thought this might amuse you...
My daughter had a gang of her 12 and 13 yr old friends over to work on a school project and altho there didn't seem to be any work going on, they certainly were having a great time with your CD- Shading Lines Btwn. It was blasting on the CD player with a lot of laughing, dancing and comments....they thought it was soooo all that!

AH! Kent!

Totally dig your decision Kent. Just wanted to put it out there (as I had already lightly been compiling my disc for Oct. or Sept.... 2010), I'm still happy to send out discs. I think it's fun, loved hearing the new music we got (even if it wasn't as scheduled as originally) and if anyone was up for it, I'd be happy to send out to anyone who still wanted to receive.. I've still got the old address list, so let me know. It's a great endeavour,and I have certainly had my musical tastes broadened (and most definitely rejuvenated) since 2007! Thanks Kent and all! R

Updated Address List

Gang-

I've got a new address, and I'm wondering if this may be why I've missed out on some of the recent great cd's! In any case, here's my updated address:

2693 S Cook St
Denver,CO 80210

...and while we're on the subject, does anyone else have address updates?

turn down the bass????

Oh Kent you are too kind. That's a bit premature yet. Thanks for the tips, I have a couple older tunes that I am trying to learn that I have a really tough time hearing, and am technologically challenged! That being said, I do plan on showing up some days wearing my high tops and a hoodie hiding my true age from the youth and will do my best to rock out. In a year or so..... R

Re: HELP!

Hey guys, who said that this Blog can't do more than just talk about tunes. Now we have technical support happening...that's great.

Rosalie, another option for you is to check out the following web sites where you can find the Bass lines in tab version for almost any song you want. Then once you've learned the song, you can, in fact, turn DOWN the bass on iTunes and rock out with your favorite band, you being the hot bass-playing chick.

You could also come out and play in the basement with Tristan and his buddies.

Cheers

Kent
