Nice playing, thanks for posting!

See previous page. Sigh. I honestly thought this meme was done. Hmmm... I missed that link previously. No, the meme is far from done. Kids are still talking about the song on a faily regular basis, especially on Friday. :D I'm curious to see if it becomes a cultural icon in spite of itself...

Rebecca Black "Friday" has been a hot topic in the classroom, so I use it as a "Current Events" segment to launch into other areas of discussion.

Where can I go for a decent set? How long will it take to get them? (as ideally, I'd like to get them as soon as possible.) What is it likely to cost, and what's usually involved re. deposits etc.? Any help will be very gratefully received... I am NOT an experienced pipe player, but I thought I wou...

Sooooo..... which is right and appropriate? Why can't they both be right and appropriate at times? While there's always some imitation in music, if we saddle ourselves with too many rigid rules, we wind up on a quest to find someone else's sound while never finding our own. Well... in my opinion th...
