New Song Added – Time Will Tell

·

This one is an original.
Not by me, but by my music mentor.

Brother Bing Dones was our High School Music Coordinator.
He has taught me all my attitude towards music.
Not just by his teachings but also by example.

I remember when I auditioned for the band
he made me sit down and asked me to blindfold myself.
Very unusual, I know.
Not only did he make me play a song on the guitar,
he also grabbed the instrument from me
and played random chords and told me to name them
as I hear them.

“You can’t just know how to play music.” He said. “You have to feel it.”
“Understand it.”
“Find your place in it.”

I did pretty good I suppose,
since I became a member of the band
throughout my whole High School years.

This is one of many songs he shared with us
and I’ve always wanted to play it here.
It took me years to do so, but here it finally is.

My own interpretation of
Time Will Tell.

New Year = Clean Slate

·

Alright.

You know how much I hated 2013
so let’s clean the slate.

I make no promises that I won’t be the cranky,
angry old man that I have become,
but I will try to update this site as much as I can.
And maybe with more music.

Hopefully with more music.
And blog posts.

I actually dreamt that I was playing guitar on New Year’s eve.
So maybe this would be a good year.

I hope you were with your loved ones when the clock striked twelve.
Because if you weren’t, then what is the fucking point in everything?

Best of the New Year to you all!

Xmas 2013

·

Merry Christmas to you all.
Hope you had a great one.
Me?
I am going home.

Here’s three songs that I played and has something to do with Christmas.
Ghosts on Christmas Eve

And a Filipino Classic
Pasko na Sinta Ko

Also a Tagalog original from me and my buds.
It’s really not a Christmas song, but Christmas was mentioned.
So, that should count, right?
Tanging Hiling

Check me out on my Twitter for possible updates during the holidays.
I’ll try to update this one too, but who reads this crap?

You do?
What the hell is wrong with you?

I’m kidding.
Merry Christmas!
