Sheet Music Guy !

Hello everybody!  It’s been a long long time, hasn’t it?

I realize latetly I have been kind of behind in keeping this site up to date.   It’s been almost a year (?!?!) since my last real song update, with only posts to the “YOUR Performances” section to remind people that I’m still around.  I am!  Hi!!

I can list through the standard reasons for not posting, as people tend to do after not posting for a while.  I was really busy with work before, but since then I’ve just been kind of lazy…and a little unmotivated.  The free time I spend on these musical hobbies tend to be cyclical - alternating between sheetmusicguy, songwriting, producing, and guilt for spending too much time on this stuff.

Been spending some time trying to think of other things to do with this site.  Maybe host a contest?  I’m not too sure.  We’ll see.

Things have been pretty good otherwise.  I went to Europe in June/July with my HS friends, which was pretty cool.  We went on a Contiki tour - Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna.  I got to use my Canon XS, which is great for an entry level camera.   I also bought the Beatles limited edition Mono box set recently.  At $300, it’s crazy expensive - especially considering it’s not the full Beatles catalog (as it excludes the stereo albums), and you are technically getting less for it (one less channel, anyways).  However, I believe it’s the music delivered in the way it was intended.  Nobody knew Stereo in the ’60s anyways…some of the stereo mixes did weird stuff like put all the vocals through one speaker…which, i mean, that’s just strange.  Also, as a music fan, I think it’s good to physically own stuff like this.  Even if it is the price of a PS3.  ugh.

Random Jay Chou news - he’s supposed to play Kato in the new Green Hornet flick, opposite Seth Rogen, directed by Michael Gondry.  I really don’t know how I feel about this.  Each of those people have their own distinct and respective talents in their own field….but in a Green Hornet movie?  Really?  Really really?!?  We’ll see how this plays out.

Anyways, back to this site.  I’ve been working on and off over the past year - I guess that would be mostly ‘off’ - on another Jay Chou track, and I just had a breakthrough today so I think I should be able to have it up in a week, hopefully.

Oh, and to those of you in Canada, Happy Thanksgiving!  You americans can wait a month
