By now you should have an idea of the (non) quality of the videos I post :D I made two yesterday; one about drawing (including a sped up drawing of mine, but don’t hold your breath because it turned out so stinkin’) and one with the accordion. Neither one is that great, actually. I do a review of Drawing on the Right Side of Your Brain, though, and that IS a good book, despite it containing some new-agey type stuff. Eat the meat, throw away the bones.

The Drawing Video

The Accordion Drama - Let’s just call it a mini-wordless-accordion-opera :D

The accordion, to me, is a perfect improvising instrument. It’s just so fun to play around on. I’m also finding that simple books with just the melody and guitar chords are great to play out of. I found out that one of my favorite yodelers, Kerry Christiansen, plays a chromatic button accordion. It doesn’t have a piano on the side but rather more rows of buttons. It’s pretty cool 8) So, uh, yeah, does anyone have $3,000 to swing for a birthday present or something? :D Just kidding! There is one for $1,000 on eBay, I might see if I can get one like that one. I read on youtube that one of the performers suggested a Bulgari. I went and looked it up on eBay and the PIANO kind (which I think is generally cheaper but I’m not sure) was on auction for $6,200. Yikes :P Better start saving my pennies ;)
