My friend Jamilla has been encouraging me to record my practicing | |
of musical instruments so I decided to put something here. | |
When I was a child, I spent 6 months in the Philippines. One of my | |
memorable experiences from then was when my uncle would play these | |
songs out of a pocket sized magazine that came out regularly that | |
had the song chords and the lyrics of popular songs during that | |
time, as well as some older songs. I think the magazine was called | |
Song Hits or something generic like that. He would play the guitar | |
and my cousins and I would sing. It was good times! | |
Fast-forward to now, many of these songs are just the basic chords | |
and singing, similar to how we did it back then. Most of my playing | |
is more of my own music therapy than anything. It takes me back | |
and keeps me remembering. | |
NOTE: These explorations can be very raw and painful to the ears | |
and have been known to make children cry. You have been warned. | |
UPDATE: 20210221 - My friend, Rob, dared me to write music, so I | |
tried. Never wrote music before and don't know how it | |
works, but I'm trying. See below. | |
