I’m sad to report that due to a site db error or something, i lost all my site comments!!!

The comment table in the database mysteriously disappeared.  Maybe it got overworked and died, or got fed up and quit and didn’t tell anybody where it was going.

All those awesome and amusing things that you’ve all posted over the past few years are now gonnneeee!!!

I hope we can get past this one day.

Anyways. How are you?

For those of you who are Canadian and live in the greater Toronto area, my friend Jenise is planning a bowling event to help raise money to help the recent situation in Haiti.

As summarized on www.redcross.ca:
“On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, followed by several powerful aftershocks, struck off the western coast of Haiti, causing buildings to collapse in Port au Prince and chaos as people fled the damage. It is estimated that 3 million people have been affected and 200,000 left homeless.”

It’s been a while since I’ve given back to the world, and since she did ask me very nicely, SheetMusicGuy will be helping to sponsor this event!

You’ll have the chance to win your own personalized sheetmusicguy request.
I will make sheetmusic and a video for any one song that you want, and post it on this website for all the world to see.

Also, i’ll be in attendance, so you can like, meet me and stuff…..and laugh at me while I bowl badly.

Event Details
What: 2 hours of bowling with shoes and taxes included for $30
Why: To raise funds for Haiti’s earthquake relief efforts
When: Saturday, January 30, 2010 - 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm
Where: Club300 - 146 Old Kennedy Road, Markham Ontario L3R 0L5

All proceeds will go to Doctors without Borders and Unicef Canada

Facebook Event
If you would like to attend, you can RSVP on the facebook event directly, after logging in first:

Contact
You can also contact the event coordinator directly: jenise.lee at gmail dot com

If you don’t live in Toronto but still want to help out, keep this in mind:

Canada will match dollar for dollar for donations made to registered Canadian charities to support humanitarian and recovery work in Haiti…this only applies to funds donated between January 12 to February 12, 2010….so even if you can’t make it, donate to a Canadian charity now!!

MP3: Jay_Chou_-_Where_Is_Our_Promised_Happiness.mp3

Sheet Music: Jay_Chou_-_Where_Is_Our_Promised_Happiness.pdf

This song is off the Capricorn album:

I had this song mostly figured out a while ago, and then I hit the part where it changes key and that was enough to discourage me for….months…lol

Anyways, it’s done now!  Hope you like it….and sorry again for not posting as much content as I used to.  It really is a lot of work, you know.

This song was requested by LuckyMonkey, gio, Krista Lin, and 2013redsox

The performance itself is OK.  There are a few minor/medium mistakes, and one really BIG edit right where the key change is …. but of all the takes this one was the best played, regardless of the technical errors.

Anyways, I hope you all like it….the performance and the sheets.

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
