Hey, guys. Sorry I haven't posted in so long - I've been on the computer, I've just not left myself enough time to actually write an entire post. But I'm going to try now!!!!!!!! woooo
Random Thought #1: I have Bohemian Rhapsody stuck in my head. I can't get it out. I think I will open up iTunes now, put it on shuffle, see what comes up and mebbe get that stuck in my head. Hold on a sec.................................*much clicking occurring* ................................... ok. The song that came up was Good Company, by Queen. Why does this song sound like it's being played on a ukelele, yet have horribly depressing lyrics? I don't get it. Hmmm........it's a mystery. Next thought. (BTW, the next song that came up was Behind Blue Eyes, by The Who) (and Good Company did get stuck in my head)
Random Thought #2: I have problems with practicing. Today I finally decided to practice those Sixteenth Notes O' Doom from Peasant Dances - one of the songs that orchestra is doing for our Chicago trip. THOSE.THINGS.ARE.MURDER. I can move my bow that fast, and I can finger the notes fast enough (ish) BUT.....I CAN'T DO THEM AT THE SAME TIME. As you can probably tell, that is quite a problem. However, the problem is lessened by the fact that Peasant Dances is an AMAZING song. Here is a link to it being played by a PROFESSIONAL ORCHESTRA. Wooooo! However, when it's played all professional and perfect-like, it does seem a bit boring......oh well. Peasant Dances, everyone (I know, I know, it's long):

I'd love it if you'd listen to it!
Random Thought #3: There were a lot of capital letters in that last post. Capital Letters are VErY INterestING. As defined by the Oxford American Dictionary, capital means a letter of the size and form used to begin sentences and names. (YES! I have CONQUERED copy and paste!) I think dictionary definitions are very boring. Even for exciting words like 'euphemism' and 'savvy', the dictionary uses very drab, very conventional words. But sometimes i still can't understand the definitions, and then I have to look up the definitions of the words in the definition. It's a never-ending puzzler. Another word, by the way, for which the dictionary has a boring definition.
Random enough for y'alls????????

Dearest Alison.
On Good Company what you hear is a Ukelele Banjo, a combo of the two, and the song is Brian Mays take on 20's Jazz. The song is about a guy who falls in love with a girl, but eventually becomes so involved with his job at Limited Company, that he doesn't notice her leaving him. He then ponders what went wrong as he smokes his pipe. And what you hear at the end of the song is an entire Jazz Band performed by Brian on his guitar. Pretty crazy right? And toward the end when it gets spacey towards the "all through the years" part, it does get a tad bit somber, and then goes back to the dixie jazz feel. I like to think of it as the wild circus going on in is head. Anyway, good post! -Peter
Wow, Peter...your depth of knowledge amazes me. 'Wild circus in his mind', eh? Sounds mad to me.
