I almost forgot.
Someone was supposed to take care
and update this site.
What a slacker, eh?
Well.
Since we renewed this domain name for another year,
we better make the most out of it huh?
First,
we need to overhaul this design.
Soon.
I am tired of it.
And when I say soon,
I meant… “maybe someday.”
It’s discomforting to realize sometimes
that I only know how to pray when I am in trouble
or when I am in dire need.
And more often than not,
they consist mostly of complaints, hatred,
criticisms and disapprovals.
Like I can do a better job than Him.
But can you blame me?
I am only human.
I am tired.
I am tired of reaching out.
I don’t think He really listens to me.
It’s no fun when you don’t get any answers.

A couple of posts ago,
I have mentioned here about
Arnel Pineda, doing cover songs of Journey.
And apparently earlier that month,
he was actually hired as Journey’s new front man.
Renowned Guitarist, Jeff Healey
passed away yesterday.
I must admit this news hit me hard.
I still can’t believe he is gone.
Mr. Healey is one of the most underrated musicians
ever to hit the world of Blues and Rock.
I will never forget his style, his tone
and his screaming riffs.
It really is quite a loss.
Thank you Mr. Jeff Healey.
Thank you for your music.
Here’s a video of one of his famous appearances.
One of my personal favourite 80’s OPM songs.
(Original Pilipino Music)
As cheesy as it sounds,
you can not deny the beauty of the songs from old.
Of course they have a certain nostalgia effect to my generation.
I wasn’t really planning on posting this,
But Kristine actually told me a very good point
on why I should.
I couldn’t tell you what it was,
because I don’t want the secret out
and other people might steal my ideas.
And judging from my past,
I now keep all my ideas to myself.
I have great ideas all the time.
But people steal them and profit from it.
You know that
Two all beef patties, special sauce,
lettuce, cheese, pickles,
onions on a sesame seed bun?
Totally my idea.
And then I met a clown.

Anyway,
here’s my rendition of Keno’s
Once again.

I had my eyes on this for so long:
Now,
I have my eyes on this one:
Because I tried one last night
at the store for the first time.
And apparently,
(After a couple of tries)
I ROCK!
I was Rockin’ like Amadeus!
One thing I learned though,
I must have used my pinky finger a lot more playing that game
than actually playing a real guitar.
And I also want to apologize to that 10 year old kid
who was waiting for his turn.
I would have let him play,
but he was laughing at me.
That little shit!
Throughout the years,
of denofmusic.com,
I have met new friends,
And have rekindled old ones.
Being recognized and being remembered
is something that I truly appreciate.
This site and my music
really is nothing fancy.
My music is mediocre at best
and my writings are way less interesting than they appear.
Although,
It is very uplifting when my peers acknowledge what I do.
Check out some nice words from my good friend, Bob.
Who can tweak any operating system ever known to man.

and a couple of years ago,
a nice fellow from Orlando gave my site a brief review,
and gave me a 9.0 rating. (Sweet!)
—
I got an email from Steve Fairclough, praising my interpretation of his guitar composition
—
And a very talented Musician from Canada,
commended some of my music as well.
Which was really flattering because he is one great artist,
and my site and my talent are nothing compared to his.

and to all of you who leave comments on this site.
I thank you.
~Cue Music~
*This thank you post was written, while watching the Oscars.
I wrote this because I feel the need to give an acceptance speech.
So leave me be.
On page 328,
of Clapton, The Autobiography
Mr. Clapton states:
(and I quote)
“Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics,
religion, or any other bullshit attached.
Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present.
It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.”

As I have read his life story,
he affirmed how Music has helped him get by.
I have said it before and I’ll say it again.
Music has never let me down.
It is what keeps me sane and rational.
And even if the music in my life
is not how I wanted it to sound,
I don’t know why,
but I still keep on playing.
I’ll hit that right note eventually.
Wow.
One whole week of no posts.
It must have been one hell of a Birthday Party for me.
And when I say Party,
I meant
staying home,
watching Little Einsteins,
and wallowing in self pity.
No Matter!
Thank you to all for the greet!
Now I better go to bed.
I have to be early at work tomorrow.
