Playing piano and getting into the spirit (Video with Aiden cat joining in)

It's holiday time, and we're all eating with gusto. In honor of Thanksgiving, we completely let go, pardoning ourselves of any rigid diet that would preclude an all out splurge. So now, enter the piano, as a feast of delights waiting for the player to partake without a hint of holding back. It seems like… Continue reading Playing piano and getting into the spirit (Video with Aiden cat joining in)

Since I hadn't yet mastered the editing side of iMovie, I figured a majestic lead into the playing would… Continue reading A different view of Bach and the piano (Prelude in C) Video

Grounded but surviving the media crash! (Videos)

This is a follow-up to my last heart-throbbing media burdened blog, https://arioso7.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/feeling-disconnected-at-the-jewish-new-year/ *** So it's part 3, of this technology scripted soap opera. The fire wire card was not the problem as previously entertained, and after all the camcorder plug-ins and outs at Computer Mania in Fresno, my understandably exhausted Sony DCR-TRV 340 met its premature… Continue reading Grounded but surviving the media crash! (Videos)
