HAPPY NEW YEAR, YOU CRAZY ROMANS!!

yes, well, its not the new year according to the aztecs, chinese, mesopitamians (i made a spelling mistake there...) etc.
but, it is time for a new battle of the century!!!!! yes, i'm not sure what that means yet. we'll have to wait and see, won't we?
here's a nicer MIDI thank-you song for Earl, since he was so disappointed by the first one i did (jeepers, it took me over an hour to do....cut me some slack!)
round 2 of thank you

Another Ode to Earl

Yes, Earl has done it again. He gracefully upgraded the storage space i'm using for posting my music online.....to 250MB!! That means, unfortunately for some people, that I can put up more music! Yee-haw! And so, to comemmorate this tiding of wonderous tumultitude, I made a quick crappy song...
250MB of Thanks!

And since sebas is being a smarty-pants, here's one for you:
some drums, a cup o'bass and organs

My brand-new-to-me-2nd-hand MIDI controller!!




This is my newest musical toy, in all its glory. Courtesy of "MATHEW WANNOP @ CON-SPACE SOLUTIONS" (E-Bay) no less. Still have to work out all the quirks though! Here's a taste.....
MIDI song? hahaha!

A Merry Christmas to all!

Here are a few pics from Christmas in Summerland...




The other pics didn't turn out. :(
But.....I do have some non-Christmasy pics! They did happen to be around the same few days however, so i'll include them here:




Above are some "Kent's-eye-view" pics from the Barley Mill,

and poor Lara, after spilling her drink :( Alcohol Abuse!!!!! Down the front too, just to cool her down a bit!

I Won a Trip!!!!!!

Yes, i actually won something! It's a first, i think. I won a trip to Prague, Czech-Republic, for 5 days to visit the Pilsner-Urquel brewery in Pilsen!!! It includes airfare, hotel,and brewery tour for two; and my lovely friend Owen is being dragged along for the beer-festivities. I just happened to be attending the Vancouver Hopscotch festival (get it? beer+whiskey...) with Sebas in November and there was a draw for this awesome trip! And, unbelievably so, I won! Woo-hoo! I think the best part is that we can plan it for any time we want, which is pretty cool. Gives me time to quit my job and move back to the Okanagan and live in the woods for a while before flying off to Europe again. Fun fun fun. Sorry, all you other friends of mine; Owen's never left this continent before. That was assuredly involved in the decision making process of whom is to accompany me :)
Having said that, anyone and everyone is welcome to join us! when we decide the dates, both owen and i will post them on our blogs so that the masses are aware. This will give many a folk ample time to arrange their own flights and such so that we can make a real go of it in painting Prague red!! Sound like fun? Sure does!

oh yeah, sebas and i did another blurb for "X-MAS 3"...

I apologize right now...

I truly am deeply sorry. The song you are about to hear is a monstrosity unto itself. Why, you may ask? Because i chose to use the built-in MIDI features of my music program. And i don't own a MIDI keyboard. So.....what this means is that it has taken me around 8 hours to draw each and every note in this song, apart from the vocal tracks. The result is a very awkward sounding banjo with an organ. Yep, it sounds bad without even hearing it yet! Rest assured, i will not ever make another song in this manner.
O Holy Night

Mark is here!


A dear old friend (?) is here visiting from the UK for a few weeks....
keeping me inundated with those pesky british witicisms of his. But, since he flew to visit his bro in ft. saint john (brrrr) today, i managed to do another song! 'ere she be...
O little town of Bethlehem
and another one too...
We wish you a merry Christmas
