Concertina

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

For the summer, we ordered this. We also got another harmonica, making our total harmonica count two. Me and my father plan to pay for our entire trip with these on the streets of Paris. I can already play all of the easy songs like twinkle and Alouette and the most complicated one that I can play so far is you are my sunshine. Im trying to learn some of the stuff from the Nightmare Before christmas sound track, cuz i finally found a great site for the sheet music. I can play part of Sally’s Song, which is really pretty, but its sorta hard because the only sharps the thing has are F’s. So everything else is natural, which makes playing songs with key signatures dificult b/c if your playing frum sheet music, you have to change everything. But Im getting better at it, and should able to play alot more in a few weeks.

Graceland

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

kk, this happened ALONG time ago, but i enjoyed it so much that i want to post it anyways… On our way to the suprise party/family reunion my family stopped in graceland, tennesy, the home of the great King of rock and roll, Elvis Presly. We went to his mansion and took the tour. His home was really kick ass, but it was still pretty laid back. Nothing like all of the millionaires/billionaires today that go off to these luxurious islands and buy multi million dollar homes with like 47,000 acres of property and all of that crap. (Sorta like i plan to do… -_-;) Anyways, after the tour, we went to the gift shop and bought a whole lot of overpriced crap, but it’s elvis crap, so it’s all good. I got TCB earrings and a cool belt. We also got bumper stickers and Mike got a T-shirt and more stuff like that. Also, my Abu and I got into an argument over whether or not I had been there before. I say that on my first trip to our great city, when we were bringing all of out furniture from Omaha to our new apartment, we stopped at the mansion. Mike says no, and this was my first time here. So, whatever that does. If any family member somehow has information about the subject, I am making a request that you help us solve this. (Unless said information helps Michael, then you can keep it to your self and no one the wiser, right?) So, thats about it…
