About This Author
Well, hello. I’m still testing this.
Music Notes
A blog, generally about music, usually for projects hosted by Jeff Author Icon. I may also write about the 48-Hour Media Prompt Challenge if I don't feel like writing a story or poem inspired by the given song. Other bits of poetry or different topics of discussion might end up here as well.

This is the poem which earned my blog its first ribbon, courtesy Citizen Journalist 🎵 Author Icon *Leaf2G*

My twelfth and final "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. track choice is Lindsey Stirling's rendition of Joy to the World. She does it quite conservatively and elegantly, with only a touch of dubstep drama that gives it the feeling of a journey and a welcome.

I've always loved the words and the melody of Joy to the World; it's one of the few truly spiritual Xmas songs that appears frequently while shopping. I personally think the stores should play more instrumentals for the holidays. Why do we have to hear the words of Jingle Bell Rock or Santa Baby every fifteen minutes or so? To say nothing of the cheap, poppy “you and me at Christmastime” ditties… Give us something artistic, for goodness sake.

Not everyone likes violins. My mom thinks they're unnerving, and an old friend of mine said wolves don't like them and neither did he. I'm one of the people who finds violins and other bow instruments fascinating. I love how the violin faithfully traces the melodic path of the human voice, allowing us to have instrumental covers of songs with all the emotional impact of the theme and none of the baggage of the artist.

Speaking of having emotional themes without artist baggage, I also adore the Rockabye Baby lullabies, which are made out of pop/rock songs. Someday I'll share some of them with you. In the meantime, happy holidays!
