A Place Called Home

Lyrics to "A Place Called Home"

You can listen to the song HERE @ her Myspace
I heard this on the episode of Angel that I watched tonight; it was a very emotional episode when one of the characters died yet...still has a role in the series (it's a long story lol...well not too long if you'd like to know more about it just ask me and I'll let you know whats going on!!)

Kim Richey A Place Called Home Lyrics
Well, it's not hard to see
Anyone who looks at me
Knows I am just a rolling stone
Never landing anyplace to call my own
To call my own

Well, it seems like so long ago
But it really ain't you know
I started out a crazy kid
Miracle I made it through the things I did
The things I did

Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow
'Til then, I travel alone
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
And dream of a place called home

I had a chance to settle down
Get a job and live in town
Work in some old factory
I never liked the foreman standing over me
Over me

Oh I'd rather walk a winding road
Rather know the things I know
See the world with my own eyes
No regrets, no looking back, no goodbyes
No goodbyes

Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow
'Til then, I travel alone
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
And I dream of a place called home

My weekend

Hey Anderfolk! Hope you all had a great weekend! My weekend was a blast!

I attended a concert Friday night, featuring Landon Smith, Matt Jones, and Ryan Holley (3 great musicians I found on myspace) Ryan is from my hometown and I had seen him twice before once with Landon and once with Matt. It was really dark in the room so my pics didn't turn out to great but I did get a picture with Matt, he's a terrific guy (all of them are really) but I've gotten to know Matt a little bit through myspace and it's been great! So check out their music, and let me know what you all think!!!!!!!

So did anyone do anything fun and exciting this weekend?!

Now to get back on topic here:
Monday's Show: Military recruiters, disgracing their country and the uniform. "360°" investigates how some are abusing their authority with potential enlistees. Tune in at 10 p.m. ET.

HOPEFULLY, I'll be able to catch 360 on Monday since I don't have to work, but I do have a biochemistry test on Tuesday, so we'll just have to see how it goes down.

Also, I'm still looking for a correspondent to help me out with the blog-I don't want to stop the Anderson part of the blog, since it's the main reason I started it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to by myself with my school work. Anywho, no need to get all down and out over it at the moment, so here's to hopefully a GREAT Monday!

Memories...

So, I went to a high school football game last night(my alma mater) and heard the band, I was so amazed by the piece of the show I saw tonight, and can't wait until the whole show is put together on the field. It made me sad, I missed "big band"; going from a 350 + member band where I was in charge of 40ish flutes to only being in charge of 3 @ my university band...good times good times. Don't get me wrong, I love the band I'm in now, we have some amazing musicians, but I do miss high school band!

So when I got home I reviewed my recordings of 2 of my high school performances, it was nice seeing them again. After watching the shows, I got my UIL Concert contest recordings out and started to listen to them, taking in the great musicianship of the Honors band-what a great group of talented people throughout my 4 years.

With that in mind I've decided to post some of my all time favorite classical pieces for you all to enjoy.

I do have some of my high school bands recordings of some of these songs, I just haven't figured out how to get them on the net yet. I found these recordings on various websites.

I've posted this song before, I've played this numerous times, and it was so amazing to be able to play it in Russia. For any new readers that didn't catch an earlier post about this song here's a little background information about it. "An American Elegy" was composed by Frank Tichelli in honor of those that survived as well as lost their lives during the Columbine school shooting. I'm sure you will enjoy the sweet melodies and emotional tones of this song.

Also by Frank Tichelli, "Vesuvius" is also on my top list of instrumental songs. I played this my senior year of high school. This song is full of great rhythms, and sounds I don't see how anyone wouldn't enjoy it.

I can't seem to find any good recordings of a couple of other songs, so if anyone knows how I can make my recordings available I would appreciate the help :)

I hope you all enjoyed this little off topic post, let me know what you all think about the songs too :)

OT-Two Amazing Singers!

Hey all last night I drove about 45 mins to see Ryan Holley and Matt Jones in concert. This was my 2nd time to see Ryan live, and it was just as amazing as the first time! This was only my first time to see Matt live, and omg it was amazing like whoa! He has such a beautiful voice, as does Ryan, and both artist's songs really speak to you.

Columbine Tragedy Anniversary

As many of you probably know, today marks the anniversary of the Columbine Tragedy. There is a piece of music entitled "An American Elegy" that was composed for both the ones who lost their lives, as well as survived. It's a very moving piece, and I have been honored to be able to play it more than once, and will be playing it while in Russia. Please check out the following link to listen to the piece. I always get that lump in my throat while playing it, and wanted to share it with you all.
