End in Sight

I like singing in our church choir.

Of music I never will tire.

But after this piece,

Our season will cease.

So practice we no longer require.

Orchestra

I enjoy making musical sounds,
So this orchestra I'm glad I found.
I was slightly torn,
To play trumpet or horn.
But for now I'm playing trumpet bound.

 

Cumberland Cross

I like how this tune comes across,

It's got slow parts, and then it's got sauce.

The rhythms are fun,

With a quarter note run.

Give a listen to Cumberland Cross.

Prairie Dance

Here is a musical glance,

At a piece we're playing, in advance.

I like it a lot,

Fun rhythms it's got.

Give a listen to this, Prairie Dance.

ICCA West Quarterfinals!

Tonight you now know where I'll be.

It's the event that inspired Glee!

We'll go watch my son,

(I hope his group won.)

I'm just glad it's him and not me.

Band Practice?

I joined our town band with my wife.

So we have more music in our life.

It's been a long time

Since our playing prime.

Now I'm battling lip soreness strife.

 

Concert Weekend

2 concerts were at OSU.
So we had to go listen and view.
The music? Fantastic.
The mood? Enthusiastic.
And we got to see our youngest, too!

 

The Oregon Song

This AI site wrote me a song.

About kids who traveled along,

The Oregon Trail,

They did chores without fail.

It's song writing chops are so strong.

Quartet

Today I sang in a quartet.

We sang 2 hymns, easy, no sweat.

It was really fun,

I don't do it a ton.

It's a good musical outlet.

Bells

In addition to hearing her sing,
My wife got to make these bells ring.
It's not me being gallant,
To say she's got talent.
I'm proud that she's wearing my ring.

 

ICCA Fun

This show features good a cappella.

Who will win? Maybe a Cinderella?

The groups were all great,

And the end worth the wait.

This year Headband won! Oh hell ya!

 

Musical Service

 

At church we had somebody share,

His life story, how he got there.

From birth he was blind,

Still faith he did find.

Now he uses his music as prayer.

Rick Rolling the Classics!

 I thought someone was being a troll,

And maybe that still is their goal.

But this is a cool fugue,

Maybe played on a moog?

And the catch? It's our favorite Rick Roll.

Mariachi Time!

 This assembly we had in our gym,

It was a surprise, on a whim.

They play really well,

And the music was swell.

But my view was obscured by the rim.

New Year

In church choir I usually sing.

But today I did a different thing.

As this picture tells,

We played on these bells.

The New Year started with a ring!

 

Streaming Jazz

A friend from college plays the bass,

I've never heard her play at her place.

Now she and her team,

Are on a live stream.

Their trio has talent and grace!

Christmas Music?

We got some new music in choir,

And it's purpose is clear; to inspire.

The music, alas,

Is made for Christmas.

In three months, I fear we will tire.

New Season

If music you're wanting to hear,

Then you have a new reason to cheer.

The choir is back,

Now music won't lack.

Tonight was first practice of the year.

Wax Audio Music Mashups

This artist, two songs will entwine,

And the resulting mashups are fine.

Click the link and see, 

I think you'll agree.

The result sent chills up my spine.

A Cappella

If instruments just aren't your thing,

But you still like to hear people sing,

A Cappella's the style,

Which will make you smile.

Your voice is all you have to bring!
