Learning new tricks

They say, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." This "old dog" has learned an amazing amount of new "tricks" over the past couple of years, working with music2work2. I have been introduced to websites, technical applications, things I had no idea were even possible to do on a computer! It has been hard - often harder on the teacher than the student - but it has been interesting and fun. Some things I have caught onto pretty easily; others I still can't do without being reminded how to do them. We are making some wonderful and exciting changes on the music2work2 website. It is going to be terrific when all the changes are complete. I'm really excited to see how it all will look. I hope I can continue to learn the new "tricks," in spite of the sentiment expressed in the above saying.

Promoting Tim O'Neil

Usually the artist friends of music2work2 from MySpace are the musicians themselves. But, we have a friend named Kristy who is promoting the music of Tim O'Neil. Tim O'Neil is a composer/musician out of Detroit, Michigan. His music is classified as Ambient/Classical/Acoustic. Mr. O'Neil began playing the piano at age 2 1/2 and composing music at age 4. He is proficient in a variety of musical instruments, in addition to the piano.

On Tim O'Neil's own MySpace page, there are six sample pieces. They are all very melodic, beautiful piano pieces. It would be difficult for me to choose a favorite because I enjoy listening to all of them. I especially like "Amelia's Song," "Come to Me," and "Good Night Detroit."

It is easy to understand how Kristy is such a fan of Tim O'Neil's music. I am glad to have found his music and now I am a fan myself.

If you enjoy beautiful piano music, I highly recommend listening to his work.

Clive - A Review

Listening to Clive, an Acoustic/Folk Rock/Pop band out of Wilmington Delaware, I am reminded of earlier years and the music you and your friends gathered to hear in coffee houses. The tunes are catchy; the lyrics tell stories and ponder the questions of life............ "Do you ever wonder whats been burried under your shoes Do you ever wonder why troubles come in twos and threes and still all of our days are filled with joy and laughter Its just a taste of the sweet sweet hereafter... "

This is part of the lyrics of my favorite song from Clive's MySpace page, "Sweet Sweet Hereafter."

All four songs available to hear are really good. I like the melodies, the lyrics, and the instruments heard in the pieces. I also like the fact that it brings back fond memories of times long gone.
