Some Geeky Humor

Oh, this is too fun!



If you can understand everything, good for you! But what I could understand, I got the biggest kick out of. (Cage!) :) Beethoven is one of my favorite parts. Never mind. Practically the whole thing is my favorite part.

It's a bit long, but if you've skipped it and just read what I wrote, go back and listen. It's delightful!

Why Can't I Be Two People? :)

I have ideas coming out my ears right now. I feel like I'm being pulled in many different directions and the thought came in my head that it would be nice to be able to split myself in two sometimes. Thus, this song popped into my head.



But I suppose this is where this talk comes in handy:

A brilliant piece of music

This is a favorite at our house. We gawk over the orchestration and brilliantness again and again and again and... Well, you get the idea.

What are you marinating in?

Time Out for Women will be in Orlando next month. I've been asked to help get the word out, and I've been watching a lot of TOFW videos. This is one of my favorites.

I realize...

I realize that I've already showcased Kurt Browning here.

I realize that the more videos I put up, the less you're likely to watch.

I realize a couple of these have Christmas music.

I realize that I don't really know much about figure skating.

However, I've been on a bit of a kick the last little bit and these are some of my favorite Kurt Browning videos. He is such a delightful skater who just looks so beautiful (sorry, Kurt!) and at home on the ice. And I'm constantly amazed at the nuances he picks up in the music. So for your enjoyment (or mine, at least):

First, a very beautiful one.




This one is hilarious!


And... Well, I just love this one, too.

How does he do that?

You may have seen this, but if you haven't...

Music news

A couple of years ago, Morgan entered some music into the LDS Church Music Submission. (Or whatever it is called.) A few months later, we found out he received special recognition. They asked if he wanted to sign over rights to the song (kind of) so they could post it on lds.org. He agreed. We checked the site over and over and never saw it. However, look what we found this week! (He's about ten down.)

So if you are in a ward choir, print off his music and give it a try! And it's free for you! :)

Morgan arranged this for a stake conference choir piece. It was supposed to be one of the prelude numbers, but because of circumstances beyond our control, we didn't get to sing it for prelude. Morgan was a little disappointed, but was rather pragmatic about it. However, some whispering went on (by other people) and it was announced that it would be the piece would be sung by the choir right before the general authority who was visiting spoke.

We sang our little hearts out and it was very beautiful, if I do say so myself. So beautiful that when the general authority stood to speak, he looked back at Morgan and told him how much he enjoyed the piece. That was quite the thrill!
